Local notes

Ashford Common estate cul-de-sacs can look open until both sides are parked; ask the firm to check adopted highway before they book the licence. Surrey County Council is the highway authority for Ashford Common (not Spelthorne as highway authority). Fee note: £139 for up to 28 days, rechecked 12 Sep 2026.

The fee note above is from Surrey County Council’s published page (or an honest note when none was printed), not a hire quote.

How to hire without a fake directory

  1. Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
  2. If it has to sit on the road, tell the firm you are in the Surrey County Council highway area and ask them to apply. Give them the notice on the permit page.
  3. Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – how to check a waste carrier licence.
  4. Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
