Licence prices

Brighton & Hove City Council licenses only specialist skip companies with £10 million public liability insurance. For the 2026/27 financial year, a standard skip costs:

  • £15.40 for 1 day
  • £48.40 for 7 days
  • £89.10 for 28 days

A large skip costs £48.40, £89.10 and £174.90 for the same periods. Apply 3 days ahead: a retrospective licence costs £100.

Controlled parking zones

Much of the city is in controlled parking zones. If the skip will sit in a parking bay, a bay suspension must be in place first, and the council won't issue the skip licence without it. Build in time for both, especially in Hanover and Kemptown, where terraced streets leave little other space.

One day or a month?

The one day licence suits a quick wait and load style job, while the 28 day rate is better value for a renovation. The size guide helps you avoid paying for a bigger skip than you need.
