14 Yard Maxi Skip for hire in Solihull

The 14 yard skip in Solihull

The 14 yard maxi skip is for the really big clear-out. With capacity for roughly 130 to 150 bin bags, it is well suited to large house clearances, office moves and commercial refurbishments where bulky, lightweight waste piles up fast. If a 12 yard skip feels like it might be just short, the 14 yard gives you that extra headroom.

Solihull's leafy, largely residential streets see plenty of home improvements, garden landscaping and driveway projects, and most properties have space to take a skip off-road. We connect homeowners and tradespeople across Solihull, Shirley, Knowle and Dorridge with local providers who can deliver promptly.

FAQs

14 yard skip hire FAQs in Solihull

Common questions about 14 yard skip hire in Solihull.

What are the dimensions of a 14 yard skip?
A 14 yard maxi skip is typically around 4.04 m long, 1.83 m wide and 1.98 m high (roughly 13 ft 3 in by 6 ft by 6 ft 6 in). Exact dimensions vary by provider.
How much can I fit in a 14 yard skip?
Around 130 to 150 bin bags, or about 14 cubic yards of bulky, lightweight waste. It is one of the largest maxi skips available.
Can I put rubble in a 14 yard skip?
No. Like all maxi skips, the 14 yard is for light, bulky waste only. Heavy soil, concrete and rubble must go in a small builder's skip to keep the load safe to lift.
When should I choose a 14 yard over a 12 yard skip?
Choose the 14 yard when you have a particularly large clearance of light waste and want extra capacity. For most big clearances a 12 yard is enough, so a provider can help you decide.
Do I need space for a 14 yard skip?
Yes, it needs a fair amount of room and good access for the delivery lorry. Mention any access constraints on the form so providers can advise.
Do I need a permit for a skip in Solihull?
If your skip sits on your own driveway or land, you generally won't need a permit. If it has to go on a public road, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council issues skip permits and your provider can arrange one.
What size skip is best for a garden clearance in Solihull?
For a typical garden tidy-up a 4 or 6-yard skip is usually plenty. For larger landscaping with soil and turf, a 6-yard skip is sensible, as heavier waste can't go in the very biggest skips.
What size skip do I need?
As a rough guide: a 4-yard mini skip suits small home or garden clear-outs, a 6-yard builder's skip is the most popular choice for renovations and heavy waste like soil and rubble, an 8-yard skip handles larger building jobs, and a 12-yard maxi skip is best for bulky but lighter waste. If you're unsure, select 'Not sure' on the form and a provider will recommend the right size.
How much does skip hire cost in the West Midlands?
Prices depend on the skip size, the type of waste, your location and how long you keep the skip, plus a council permit fee if it sits on a public road. Rather than quoting a single figure, we pass your details to local providers so you can compare quotes and choose the best value for your job.
Can I put a skip on the road?
Yes, but a skip placed on a public road or pavement needs a permit from your local council, and it must usually carry lights and markings. If the skip sits entirely on your own driveway or land, you typically don't need a permit. The provider you're matched with can arrange any permit for you.
Do I need a permit?
Only if the skip goes on a public highway. Permit costs and rules vary by council across the West Midlands. When you book through a local provider they'll tell you whether a permit is needed and sort it out as part of the hire.
What can't go in a skip?
Items that can't be mixed into a general skip include fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, fluorescent tubes, batteries, paint and liquids, tyres, asbestos, plasterboard (which usually needs separating) and hazardous chemicals. Tell your provider about any of these and they'll advise on safe disposal.
How quickly can I get a skip delivered?
Many local providers offer next-day delivery, and same-day is often possible if you book early in the day. Choose when you need it on the form (Today, Tomorrow, This week and so on) and we'll prioritise providers who can meet your timeframe.
Do you cover commercial skip hire?
Yes. As well as household and garden waste, our partners handle trade and commercial waste, including larger 12-yard skips and roll-on roll-off (RoRo) skips for sites with high volumes. Select 'Commercial waste' on the form to be matched with the right providers.
