B&K Skip Hire Chelsea
B&K Ltd provides skip hire and rubbish removal across Chelsea, with same or next-day delivery available. Skip sizes from 8 to 16 yards, prices from £337.50 + VAT - call +44 20 8839 3147 or book online.
Established in 2004, B&K handles waste for domestic and commercial clients across the SW3 and SW10 areas. Our skips take general household waste, wood, hardcore, soil, scrap metal, paper, gypsum, garden rubbish and plastic.
Booking is simple by phone, email, our web platform or our mobile app. Off-street space is scarce in most of Chelsea, so skips usually go on the road - that needs a council permit, which we arrange on your behalf.
Domestic and Commercial Skip Hire in Chelsea
We run our own fleet and our own waste transfer station, so nothing gets handed to a third party between your kerb and the sorting line. What that means in practice:
- Three skip sizes - 8, 12 and 16 yards - to match the scale of the project.
- Same-day delivery on orders placed before 12pm, subject to availability.
- A 14-day standard hire period, so you can load at your own pace.
- Council permits arranged for you where the skip goes on a public road.
- Sorting and recycling at our own transfer station - 98% of what we receive is recycled.
B&K Commercial And Domestic Rubbish Collection Chelsea
Items Not Suitable for Our Skips
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
Items classed as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) cannot go in a skip. This includes fridges, freezers, televisions, computers, dishwashers and microwaves. They contain refrigerants and heavy metals that need specialist recycling and cannot be processed at a standard waste transfer station. Take them to your local recycling centre or a WEEE recycler.
Large Batteries
Car batteries and large industrial batteries are not accepted. They contain lead and acid that can leak in transit, contaminating the rest of the load and making the whole skip hazardous. Take them to a designated battery collection point, a scrap yard or a garage that accepts them.
Gas Cylinders
Full or empty gas cylinders are strictly prohibited. They stay pressurised and combustible, creating a risk of fire or explosion during transport and at the transfer station. Even an empty cylinder holds residual gas. Return them to the original supplier or a cylinder refill point.
Medical Waste
Needles, syringes, soiled dressings, pharmaceuticals and biological waste are classed as medical waste and carry health and contamination risks. Our skips in Chelsea are not a suitable disposal route - this waste must be handled by a licensed medical waste contractor, and unused medicines can be returned to a pharmacy.
Asbestos
Asbestos is still found in Chelsea's older housing stock and comes up regularly in renovation work. It is linked to serious illness and it is illegal to mix it with general rubbish, so it cannot go in our skips in any quantity. You must use a licensed asbestos removal contractor - contact us and we can point you to one.
Tyres
Tyres are banned from landfill and need their own recycling route, and they can also damage sorting machinery, so please don't put them in a skip. Take old tyres to a registered tyre recycling facility or your local recycling centre - many garages and tyre retailers will also take them back.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Fuel, oils, solvents, paints and other liquid chemicals are not accepted. They are flammable, toxic or polluting, can ignite in transit and can contaminate groundwater if they leak from the skip. Contact your local council for the nearest hazardous household waste disposal point.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Chelsea. The right choice depends on your project, how much space you have and how quickly you need the waste gone - worth thinking about here, where narrow streets, residents' parking and mews access often rule a skip out.
Choose Skip Hire when...
- You have a large or multi-day project, such as a renovation or building work.
- You want to load waste at your own pace, over up to 14 days.
- You have space for a skip - a driveway, or a public road where we can arrange a permit.
- You are clearing heavier waste such as soil, rubble or construction materials.
Choose Rubbish Removal when...
- Access is limited - no driveway, a skip lorry can't fit, or a permit is not possible.
- You need a one-off, same-day clearance rather than an ongoing skip.
- Our cage van handles it: 1 tonne loading capacity, or up to 5 tonnes with the large cage.
- It is a wait-and-load service - your waste is loaded within a standard 30-minute window, so please have it ready and accessible.
Not sure which is right for you? Get in touch and we will point you to the most cost-effective option.
Why Choose B&K in Chelsea
- Transparent pricing: delivery, collection and disposal are included in the quoted price, with permit fees shown separately because they are set by the council rather than by us.
- Everything handled in-house: we deliver, collect, and sort the waste at our own transfer station, and we submit the council permit application for you.
- Flexible terms: a 14-day standard hire period that can be extended (£50 per skip, or £70 per roll-on roll-off container), plus the wait and load option where a skip isn't practical.
- Suited to Chelsea: the 8-yard skip is the workhorse for tight streets and heavy renovation waste, while the 16-yard handles shop and restaurant refits.

About Chelsea
Chelsea is one of London's most affluent districts, sitting in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on the north bank of the Thames. Long associated with artists and writers - Oscar Wilde lived on Tite Street - it now combines period housing with the retail and restaurant trade along the King's Road and Sloane Square.
The SW3 area is dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraces, mews and mansion blocks, so waste tends to be renovation rubble, flat clear-outs and shop refits. Off-street space is rare and many streets are subject to residents' parking, so a skip almost always needs a permit from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea - we handle that application for you.
