The latest report by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) warns increased skip and diesel prices will make it more difficult for homeowners to improve their homes<\/h2>\n

The FMB’s report shows that almost two-thirds of builders have had to pass the increased cost of skips and diesel onto their clients, making home improvement projects more expensive for homeowners.<\/p>\n

The research suggested that the price of skips has risen over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

The average cost of an eight yard skip has gone up by \u00a324 over the past year, meaning an additional cost of \u00a3360 for the average extension.<\/p>\n

The impact of increased diesel prices is also starting to take its toll on small and medium-sized (SME<\/a>) construction firms who worry about the future of their finances.<\/p>\n

The report found that nearly half of construction SMEs have made lower margins on projects and a fifth of construction firms (17%) have been forced to raise the prices they charge to their clients.<\/p>\n

In addition, the increased prices have caused many firms to accept more jobs that they would have normally turned down.<\/p>\n

Not only are the increased prices a cause for concern for homeowners, but the issue has also led to preempted concerns over the environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the research, Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB<\/a>, said: \u201cThe impact of the rising price of skips could have an impact on our communities through a rise in fly-tipping.<\/p>\n

“No matter how much the price of skips might increase, there is never any excuse for fly-tipping and any individuals found doing so should be severely reprimanded.<\/p>\n

“In 2016 and 2017, more than one million incidences of fly-tipping were dealt with by councils in England and the last thing anyone wants is for this number to increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berry concluded: \u201cThe increase in the price of skips and diesel have come at a bad time for the UK\u2019s builders.<\/p>\n

“The cost of doing business is rising more generally for construction firms. Wages and salaries are all rocketing because of the ever-worsening skills shortages in construction.<\/p>\n

“We are advising builders to price jobs and draft contracts with this plethora of price rises in mind to avoid a further squeeze on already razor thin margins.\u201d<\/p>\n
