Getting a skip in Winchester

In Fulflood and West Hill, Winchester's Victorian and Edwardian streets are mostly terraced houses with parking on the street. With no drive, your skip goes on the road under the county permit. The Riverside is similar, with Victorian terraces in almost continuous rows. In St Cross, the modest terraces on Crispstead Lane, St Faith's Road and Clausentum Road sit on narrow plots with small front gardens behind walls. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the kerb outside a narrow terraced house.

Christchurch Road's Victorian villas are semi-detached and detached, with driveways. If yours has room, the skip sits on the drive and needs no permit, and an 8 yard large suits a big clear-out there. Around Oram's Arbour, some front gardens have been part converted to parking. The Victorian terrace on Gladstone Street has only small front gardens, though, so check the space before you book. In Harestock, some houses have front drives made from garden space, while others are open to the road.

Winchester has permit parking areas, with residents' bays marked in white lines and times shown on nearby signs. A resident's permit covers only its own mini-zone, and doesn't allow parking on yellow lines during restricted hours. Tell the skip company your street when you book a road spot. For one bulky item, Winchester Council's collection at £53 can beat a skip. Bar End tip takes rubble and soil within a household DIY allowance, but you need to book a visit.

Other ways to get rid of it in Winchester

For one or two items, the council is often cheaper than a skip. Here’s how they compare.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Winchester?
Only if it goes on the road. A skip on your drive needs nothing. On a Winchester street, the skip company applies online for Hampshire County Council's £78.80 permit, which lasts 7 days and takes 5 clear working days to issue.
What size skip fits a terrace in Fulflood, Winchester?
A 4 yard midi usually suits a Fulflood terrace. The houses there are mostly terraced with parking on the street, so the skip sits on the road under the county permit. A smaller skip leaves more room for parked cars.
Will Winchester's Bar End tip take a car boot of rubble?
It will, within the household DIY waste allowance, and rubble or soil beyond that is charged. You must book an appointment before you go. For more than a few loads, a 6 yard builders skip or smaller handles heavy waste.
Is a skip worth it for a single wardrobe in Winchester?
Probably not. Winchester Council collects one bulky item for £53, fridges and freezers included. A skip makes more sense once you have several items or building waste to clear at the same time.
How long can a skip stay on a road in SO22 or SO23?
A Hampshire County Council permit covers 7 days. If the job runs over, the skip company can extend it a week at a time, with a fee for each extra week. Book early, as a new permit takes 5 clear working days.
