Can I leave a skip in a courtyard?
The landowner and supplier need to agree the position and access. Confirm that delivery and later collection are both practical.

What are you clearing?
Rough amount
Have road permission checked in advance
Kent publishes the conditions for highway skips. Give the supplier the proposed position and ask it to confirm permission, rather than treating an available skip as approval to occupy the road.

Describe access inside the city centre
If the property is reached through a restricted street or courtyard, tell the supplier who controls vehicle entry. Do not assume a road position is available simply because it is outside the building.
Allow room for the work to continue
A skip should not block the route for builders, deliveries or neighbours. For a staged renovation, discuss when waste will accumulate and when the container should be collected.
