SkipCheck lists 17 skip and grab hire firms serving Tiverton and the surrounding area. Most say they offer midi or builders skips, and some also say they provide mini or maxi skips, or grab hire. Two say they publish a starting price, though the figures aren't in our records, so check with them directly for a quote.

A skip on the road in Tiverton needs a licence from Devon County Council. Your skip provider applies for you, needing Chapter 8 traffic signs certification and at least £5 million public liability insurance. The fee is £110.50 for up to 28 days, £87.00 to extend, and £166.00 for an emergency application with less than 10 working days' notice, the period the council asks for. You don't need a licence on private land. Separately, if you pay anyone to take your waste, you must check they are entitled to, or the council can fine you between £150 and £600.
Only if it will stand on the road. Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980 says a builder's skip needs the highway authority's permission first. Devon County Council says your skip provider applies on your behalf, needing Chapter 8 traffic signs certification and at least £5 million public liability insurance. The council says the fee is £110.50 for up to 28 days, with £87.00 to extend, and it asks for at least 10 working days' notice. You don't need a licence if the skip stays on private land.

A skip firm carries other people's waste, so it needs upper-tier registration on the Environment Agency's public register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers, which is searchable online. One of the 17 firms SkipCheck lists for Tiverton is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, checked on 6 October 2026. If you pay an unregistered carrier to take your waste, your council can fine you between £150 and £600, so check the register before booking.

Hazardous waste such as asbestos needs special disposal, and anything containing ozone-depleting substances, like old fridges, counts as hazardous and shouldn't go in a general skip. Plasterboard and other gypsum waste must not go to landfill mixed with biodegradable waste, and whole or shredded tyres are banned from landfill too, so skip firms usually ask for these to be kept separate or left out altogether. Check with your chosen firm before loading the skip, as the rules affect what they can legally take away.
Two of the 17 firms SkipCheck lists for Tiverton say they publish a starting price on their own websites, though the actual figures aren't recorded here, so you'll need to check their sites or ask directly for a quote. If the skip needs to stand on the road, there's also Devon County Council's licence fee to budget for, which the council says is £110.50 for up to 28 days, with £87.00 to extend.
