Explain which entrance leads to the proposed position, especially when a garden is accessed from another side of the property. A skip being small enough to stand on a driveway does not prove that the delivery vehicle can reach it. Ask the supplier about the actual vehicle, the standing surface and collection clearance before removing gates or rearranging the site.
Make separate notes for loose contents, timber panels, roofing and the base. Bulky light pieces may determine capacity, while concrete or soil can determine the load limit. If roofing or panels might contain asbestos, do not break them up to fit a standard skip. Stop and arrange appropriate identification and handling. Tell the supplier about paint, chemicals, batteries or electrical items found in the shed; those are not ordinary mixed-load additions.
Capacity, weight and access
Compare the four sizes, then confirm the permitted material and weight with the supplying operator. Keep the load level with the rim.
Placement and permission
Read the South Lanarkshire road-permit guidance ↗ before agreeing delivery dates.
Private land still needs the owner’s agreement and a suitable delivery arrangement.
Ask about both materials before booking. Weight limits, material acceptance and any suspect roofing may require a different arrangement from a simple timber clear-out.
