Skip hire in North Perrott
North Perrott is in the Somerset Council highway area. A skip on the public road needs that council’s licence – the hire firm applies, not you. A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. This page is placement and waste rules, not a list of firms.
About North Perrott
North Perrott is a village and civil parish in south Somerset near the Dorset border. The name comes from the River Parrett, and the manor was once held with South Perrott just over the county boundary.
Roman and Iron Age settlement evidence exists in the parish. HoC classes the built-up area as a village.
Skip Clerk does not invent provider rankings, phone numbers or “top skips in North Perrott”. Check the carrier’s CBDU number, then ask who will apply for the road licence.

Private drive vs road
- Wholly on a driveway or other private land you control: no highway licence from Somerset Council.
- Any part on the public road or highway: yes. The hire firm applies.
- Pavement: you cannot put a skip there. National rule: Do I need a skip permit?.
Local notes
North Perrott sits on the Dorset border. Confirm the drop is in Somerset, not Dorset, before the firm applies.
Somerset Council’s construction-waste page lets each household bring up to eight 50-litre sacks of DIY construction waste a month to a recycling site, free, over a maximum of four booked visits. Plasterboard is on that list; extra plasterboard is listed at £6.60 a sheet. Own-home only; pre-book. Not every site takes plasterboard.

How to hire without a fake directory
- Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
- If it has to sit on the road, tell the firm you are in the Somerset Council area and ask them to apply. Give them more than ten working days.
- Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – how to check a waste carrier licence.
- Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
Skip Clerk has no hire partners yet and no prices for skip hire on this page. The £109 figure is Somerset Council’s published permit fee, not a hire quote. When we add a booking link it will be marked as an affiliate link.
