A skip on a Newport road needs a 14-day council licence
The skip company applies to Newport City Council for the licence, which runs for 14 days. Skips cannot be placed on blind corners, double yellow lines, grass verges or bus stops, so a clear-out before a move needs a legal spot agreed with the skip firm first.
Stow Hill, Caerleon and Clytha are conservation areas
Newport has 15 conservation areas, including St Woolos around the cathedral at the top of Stow Hill, Stow Park, Beechwood, Belle Vue, Caerleon and Clytha. Exterior changes inside them can need consent, and trees need six weeks' notice to the council before they are felled or pruned. The council's online maps show whether an address falls inside a boundary.
Tall town houses need ladders or access towers
The older town houses on Victoria Place, Victoria Road, Park Square and Hill Street have high sash windows and gutters well above ground level. Cleaning, painting and gutter clearing on the upper storeys takes longer ladders or a tower, so the number of storeys and the slope of the street both affect the quote.
Offices and warehouses sit beside the M4
Celtic Springs at junction 28 is a business park of offices, and Queensway Meadows, Leeway, Maesglas and The Wern are industrial estates used for warehousing and distribution. Office floors suit contract cleaning on a regular schedule, and distribution units suit floor cleaning and pressure washing of yards and loading bays.
