Someone hiring a skip has a pile in the garden or a kitchen coming out next Tuesday, and they are shopping on their phone. They search “skip hire Dublin” or “6 yard skip price”, open three or four sites, and the one that shows sizes and prices without a form to fill in first gets the call or the order. Websites for skip hire in Dublin are a comparison exercise, and your site is either easy to compare or it is skipped.
Sizes and prices on one screen
The price table is the page. One row per size, from the mini skip up to the roll-on roll-off if you run them, with what each one suits in plain words (a bathroom rip-out, a garden clearance, a full house clear), the hire period and the price including VAT. People do not know what a cubic yard looks like, so a photo of each skip beside a car or a wheelie bin does more than a set of dimensions.
The shape of it, with your own figures filled in:
| Size | Suits | Hire period | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | A small bathroom or a garden tidy | Your period | Your price |
| Midi | A kitchen, a shed, a few rooms of clutter | Your period | Your price |
| Builder’s | A full renovation or a house clearance | Your period | Your price |
Surcharges go beside the table, not buried in terms: mattresses, plasterboard, weight limits on the bigger skips, extra days. A customer who finds a charge on the invoice they did not see on the page writes the review you do not want.
The permit question
Half the people ordering a skip in Dublin have nowhere off the road to put it. They want to know whether a skip on the street needs a permit, who applies for it, how long that takes, and what it adds to the bill. A skip on a public road or footpath needs a permit from the local council, and most firms arrange it as part of the order. A plain page that explains this, with your own process and lead time, answers the most common phone call you get and makes your terms clear before the lorry arrives.
The same page covers level loads, what the driver will not take away, and access: can the lorry get down the lane, are there cars parked where the skip is going, is there a tree or a wire in the way.
What goes in and what does not
List the things people ask about: mattresses, fridges and freezers, tyres, paint, gas bottles, plasterboard, soil and rubble, asbestos, batteries. Say which are a no, which cost extra and which need a skip of their own. That page gets read more than any other, and it saves your driver an argument at the kerb.
Orders at nine at night
Skips get ordered after work, when the person has walked around the pile one more time. If the site lets them choose the size, the delivery date, the address and whether the skip is going on the road, and pay by card or Apple Pay, you wake up to orders rather than voicemails. With the Complete plan the payment goes straight to your account and the order lands in your email and WhatsApp. If you would rather confirm every order by phone, the form takes the details and you ring back in the morning. If you do not want full online ordering, a payment link does the job for the deposit or the balance, and we go through the tools in how to take deposits and payments online in Ireland.
Spring clearouts, summer house moves, autumn renovations and the January purge each bring their own wave, and the edit page lets you change a price, add a “next day delivery available” line or close bookings for Christmas week from your phone.
What we need
Your sizes with dimensions and a photo of each, your prices and hire periods, your surcharge list, your permit process and what it adds, the areas you deliver to, your waste collection permit number if you want it shown, and your hours for deliveries and collections. Ten minutes on the phone and it is moving.
Plans and price
Complete, at €1,499 to set up and €100 a month, is the plan with online ordering and payment, review requests and the chat box that answers “can I put a fridge in it” at midnight. Essentials, at €499 and €50 a month, gives you the price table, the permit page, the Google listing and the call button. Both are compared on the pricing page. Being found for your area is the other half of the job, and what local SEO is explains how the map results work for a firm that delivers across the county. Builders and removals firms send a lot of skip business, so it is worth the site saying plainly that you work with the trade.
