Skip hire in Stratton-on-the-Fosse

First published 13 September 2026. Last checked 13 September 2026.

Stratton-on-the-Fosse 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 Stratton-on-the-Fosse

Stratton-on-the-Fosse is a village and civil parish on the edge of the Mendip Hills, about 6 miles north-east of Shepton Mallet. It straddles the Fosse Way, the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln, and was part of the Somerset coalfield.

The parish includes Benter and Nettlebridge. Downside Abbey lies beside the village. Shepton Mallet and Frome are the nearest towns.

Private drive vs road

Local notes

Stratton-on-the-Fosse sits on the Fosse Way beside Downside. Village and coalfield lanes are tight; prefer a private drive if you have one.

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

  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 Somerset Council area and ask them to apply. Give them more than ten working days.
  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.
