Are you a home renovator, landscaper or builder? When it comes to renovating, a process is only as good as the tools it has to use, which is why it’s important to choose a skip of the right size in the first place. Which skip sizes with Thorntons Skips could be the best for you? Find out more with this guide.


Mini Skips

The Mini Skip is ideal for D.I.Y purposes and Household Waste. The Mini Skip is ideal for small general clearances. Due to its size, the Mini Skip is perfect for jobs where space can be an issue. It is easy to load and holds 2 Cubic Yards Capacity. It also holds up to 20 refuse bags.

Medium-Sized Skips

Are you undergoing a major home renovation, or are you a landscaper working on a large-scale garden development? Upgrade to a medium-sized skip to take care of the extra waste that comes out of these projects. If you are moving house, this could also warrant something larger than a mini skip, to take care of all the junk equipment you didn’t know you still had in the back of the shed. With a capacity of 3 Cubic Yards, this skip is ideal for minor household clearances or D.I.Y. jobs. It holds up to 30 refuse bags.

Standard-Sized Skip

Our standard skip or also known as the builder's skip is the most popular skip we have to offer.
