Finding a dependable skip hire service in Clapham is easy with B&K. Established in 2004, we provide comprehensive waste management for domestic and commercial customers across the SW4 area and the wider London Borough of Lambeth. Whether you are managing a house renovation, clearing a garden, fitting out a shop or overseeing a larger construction project, our Clapham skip hire service is built around what you actually need to get rid of.
Our skips take a wide range of materials, including general household waste, wood, hardcore, soil, scrap metal, paper, gypsum, garden rubbish and plastic. Ordering is flexible: book by phone, by email, through our web platform or via our mobile app. If the skip has to sit on a public road rather than a driveway, a permit from the local council is required - B&K arranges that permit on your behalf.

Why Clapham Customers Choose B&K
- Local knowledge: we work across Clapham every week and know how tight the terraced streets around Clapham Common and Abbeville Village can be. That shapes where we place the skip and which vehicle we send.
- 98% recycled: waste goes to our own transfer station, where it is sorted and processed. Around 98% of everything we receive is diverted from landfill.
- Clear pricing: skip hire in Clapham starts from £337.50 + VAT, with delivery, collection and disposal included. See our price list for the full range.
- Fast and flexible: 14-day standard hire, next-day delivery as standard and same-day delivery when you order before 12pm, subject to availability. Where a skip won't work, our wait and load service clears the site in one visit.
Prohibited Items for Skip Hire in Clapham
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
Fridges, freezers, televisions, computer monitors and microwaves are classified as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). They contain refrigerants and heavy metals that require specialist recycling and cannot be processed at a standard waste transfer station. Lambeth's reuse and recycling centre accepts them free of charge.
Large Batteries
Car batteries and other large industrial batteries contain lead and acid. If they split in the skip they contaminate the whole load and turn it into hazardous waste, on top of the environmental and safety risk during transport. Take them to a specialist collection point or a garage that accepts them.
Gas Cylinders
Full or empty gas cylinders are not permitted. They stay pressurised and can explode when crushed or heated, which is a serious risk at the transfer station and in transit. Even an empty cylinder holds residual gas. Return them to the original supplier or refill scheme.
Medical Waste
Medical and biological waste, including needles, syringes, soiled dressings and pharmaceutical waste, is hazardous and cannot go in a skip. It has to be handled by a licensed clinical waste contractor. Unused medicines can be returned to any pharmacy.
Asbestos
Asbestos is an extremely hazardous material linked to serious lung disease, and it is illegal to mix it with general rubbish. Older Clapham properties can still contain it in garage roofs, soffits and floor tiles. B&K does not remove asbestos - you will need a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
Tyres
Tyres are banned from landfill, are bulky and can damage sorting machinery, so they need a dedicated recycling route. Take them to a registered tyre recycling facility, or ask your local garage - most offer a take-back service for a small fee when you buy replacements.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Leftover paint, solvents, fuels, oils and other chemicals are banned from our skips. They are flammable or toxic, they contaminate everything else in the load, and they pollute groundwater if they leak. Your local council runs a household hazardous waste service for these items.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Clapham. The right choice depends on your project, how much space you have and how quickly you need the waste gone.
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.
The B&K Skip Hire Process
Ordering skip hire in Clapham is straightforward. Call us, use our online platform or book through the mobile app, and we will help you choose the right size for the type of waste you are clearing, then confirm the price and delivery slot. If the skip needs to go on a public road, a permit from Lambeth Council is required - we handle that application for you, so there is nothing for you to chase. Order before 12pm and we will aim to deliver the same working day, subject to availability; otherwise next-day delivery is standard.
Our standard hire period is 14 days, so you can fill the skip at your own pace. Rental fees of £50 per skip (or £70 per roll-on roll-off container) apply only if you keep it beyond that. When the skip is full, contact us and we will collect it promptly so your project isn't held up. The waste then goes to our own transfer station, where it is sorted and processed, and around 98% of it is recycled.

About Clapham
Clapham is a district of south-west London in the London Borough of Lambeth, covering the SW4 postcode and built around Clapham Common - one of the capital's largest areas of open green space and the focus of local recreation and events. The area is served by Clapham Common, Clapham North and Clapham South stations on the Northern line, with the major interchange at Clapham Junction a short distance away in neighbouring Battersea. Clapham is a lively, sought-after residential district popular with young professionals, with a dense mix of Victorian terraces, converted flats and busy bars, restaurants and independent shops along Clapham High Street and Abbeville Road. As a local skip hire company, B&K understands what those narrow residential streets and busy commercial frontages demand, and provides an efficient service to customers across the area.
