I often come across people who tell about the problem of high cost they face to get skip hire permit. I work in a Council in London, and I would like to share my knowledge on skip hire permit. It must be known first if a skip is to be kept on some public highway, then one has to get the permit from the council. Getting a permit for the skip in London is dearer as there are few driveways and many of the roads are for road parking.

However, there are different sets of rules in each of the borough of London. In boroughs of Kensington, Hammersmith, Fulham, Islington and Chelsea, the councils persist on the customers to get their permit. However in the other boroughs, it is the skip company that has toe make arrangements for the permit. This is so as the house owners are required to outline completely about the position of the skip. While some permits could last for a week, there are some permits that work for three months. In spite of different variance, the necessity of permits is rigorously maintained. If the permit is not there, both the skip hire company as well as the customer is liable to face fines that could be to the tune of thousands of pounds.
