Can I put a skip in a back lane?

Show the lifting position, not just the entrance
For a terraced property, explain whether the proposed space is at the front or through a rear approach. Include gates, overhead obstructions and room for the delivery vehicle. A container fitting on the ground does not establish safe lifting access.
Keep the heavy part of a refit visible
A kitchen or bathroom job can combine bulky fittings with dense tiles and rubble. Give separate estimates rather than describing everything as household waste. Ask about the allowance and any materials that require another arrangement.
