Skip hire in Wells
Delivered from our yard at Burcott, just down the road. Skips from £195 including VAT.
Wells is our home city — our yard at Burcott is just outside it, so skips for Wells homes and businesses rarely have far to travel. From cathedral-quarter renovations to garden clear-outs on the newer estates, we're in and out of Wells every working day.
Every skip is delivered and collected by our own drivers, Monday to Friday, in a morning (8am to 11am) or afternoon (1pm to 4pm) slot. Standard hire is 14 days, and the price includes delivery, collection and disposal of permitted waste at our own transfer station, where over 98% of it is recycled.

Good to know in Wells
- Skips on a drive or private land need no permit.
- On the road, a permit is needed from Somerset Council. We arrange it; allow up to 10 working days.
- We usually need about 2.6m (8ft 6in) of width to deliver, and can lift over a low wall or hedge.
- Streets around the Market Place and the cathedral are narrow and heavily parked. If your skip can't go on a drive, it will need a road permit; tell us when you book and we'll sort it.

What our customers say
Great service from Cheddar & Wells Skips from the initial phone call right through to the delivery driver. The whole process was smooth, professional, and friendly, with excellent communication throughout. A reliable and efficient service that I would happily recommend.

Ordered a skip through Cheddar & Wells for a small house clearance earlier this year. Really easy to order and the team were super friendly. Delivery and collection was well organised and they even accommodated our awkward driveway! I would definitely recommend...

Staff very helpful, ensured the skips were booked and provided on time. Driver super nice, despite tricky reverse along driveway, dropped skips in good place to load. Collection as arranged. Would recommend.
