Full Description
Heavy-duty skip for large construction and commercial projects - the 14-yard skip handles 130-140 bin bags and is built for serious jobs. Perfect for builders, contractors, and major renovations.
Is This Right for Your Project?
Perfect if you're:
  • Major construction project (extension, loft conversion, new build)
  • Large commercial clearance or shop fit-out
  • Demolition work with significant debris
  • Full house renovation (gutting multiple rooms)
  • Industrial or trade waste disposal
Choose 12-yard instead if:
  • Domestic house clearance with mainly light waste
  • Single-floor renovation
  • You have limited site access (12-yard is more manageable)
Contractor or builder? This size is designed for you - handles the volume from serious building projects while staying manageable on most sites.
What Actually Fits? Think 140-160 black bin bags or:
  • Major construction: Full loft conversion waste and extension debris
  • Commercial fit-out: Restaurant refit, shop renovation, office strip-out
  • House renovation: Gutting 2+ rooms, full-floor refurbishment with heavy materials
  • Demolition work: Taking down walls, removing fixtures, heavy building waste
  • Trade waste: Builder's waste from large projects, packaging, offcuts
Dimensions: Length: 4.2 m, Width 1.75 m, Height 1.8 m - substantial footprint
Weight limit: Up to 8 tonnes
Critical for heavy waste: If you're disposing primarily of soil, concrete, rubble, or bricks, DO NOT fill this skip to the top. Heavy materials should fill max 40-50% of skip capacity to stay within weight limits. Consider multiple smaller skips for pure heavy waste.
Why Choose easySkip?
  • Next-day delivery available (order before 2pm)
  • All-inclusive pricing - delivery, 7-day hire, collection included
  • Book online in 60 seconds - no phone calls needed
  • We aim to recycle 90%+ of your waste - environmentally responsible
Need a Permit?
  • On your site/property: No permit needed - but ensure 14ft × 6ft clear space
  • On the road: We arrange the permit for you - common for construction sites
  • Site managers: Plan delivery location carefully. Once positioned, moving a full 14-yard skip is difficult and expensive.
Compare Your Options for Large Projects:
  • 14-yard skip: One delivery, 14 days on site, handles major project waste
  • Multiple 8-yard skips: 2× 8-yard = 160 bags capacity but multiple deliveries = hassle
  • Grab lorry hire: £250-400 for 2-3 hours but you must load while they wait
  • Skip + return trips: First skip fills fast, second delivery means project delay
For continuous building work, one 14-yard skip keeps your site clear throughout the project.
Price comparison: The 14-yard is slightly more than 12-yard, but saves you from needing multiple deliveries mid-project. For builders and contractors, time is money.
Site Access & Weight Management Access Requirements:
  • Space needed: Minimum 14ft (length) × 6ft (width) clear area
  • Delivery vehicle: Lorry needs 3-4 meters width to maneuver
  • Overhead clearance: 15ft minimum (watch for cables, scaffolding, trees)
  • Ground surface: Firm ground required - not suitable for soft soil or newly laid surfaces
Weight Management (Critical):
Light materials (wood, packaging, furniture): Fill to top, no problem Mixed waste (building renovation - mix of materials): Fill to 75-80% capacity Heavy materials (soil, rubble, concrete, bricks): MAX 40-50% capacity only Overweight charges: If skip exceeds 8 tonnes, additional fees apply per tonne)
Builder's tip: Load heavy items first (bottom), then lighter materials on top. This maximises capacity while managing weight distribution.

FAQ
Reviews
Do you need a permit for a 14-yard skip in Sheffield?
A 14-yard on a Sheffield street follows the same rules as a smaller skip, but it takes more space to fit them.
On a drive or private land? Sheffield City Council's permit applies to skips on a highway. Anywhere else the placement is at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On any Sheffield highway? You need a permit. The council says a permit is needed to place a skip on any highway in the city. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.

Sheffield permit basics

  • Each permit is for one skip, one location and one period, and carries its own reference code. The council charges a fee, and permit fees are non-refundable.
  • A permit runs for 15 days at most, and an extension can add another 15.
  • Sheffield does not use automatic consent. The skip cannot go on the road until the permit has actually been issued.

What the council can require

  • On yellow lines or where a traffic regulation order applies, the council's parking team has to grant a special dispensation first.
  • Conditions can cover where the skip sits, its size, visibility to oncoming traffic, lighting at night and signing and guarding.

Before you book

  • Give us the exact spot and any access restrictions when you book.
  • Keep the load level with the top rim, without boards, and check our prohibited items list first.

Ideal uses for a 14 yard skip in Sheffield

  • Large loft conversions: A lot of timber and packaging. Plasterboard is prohibited. See our loft conversion guide.

  • School and college work: Wooden furniture and fittings cleared in one go. Electrical goods are prohibited.
  • Multi-property clearances: Several properties emptied into one skip.

Choosing the right size

A 12 yard is usually enough for a house. The 14 yard is for jobs with real volume and room to place it. The 16 yard is for continuous waste on large sites.

Placement and permits

Check the gateway width, the ground and the lorry's approach before booking. A skip on a public road or pavement needs a permit from Sheffield City Council, and you must obtain it. Disclose any access issues at booking.

Weight

Up to 8 tonnes. Concrete, soil and bricks should only part-fill it. Load level with the top rim.
