Skips - how many for loft waste?

Hi
Please can anyone advise on how many skips I will need for a loft conversion?
Structural/shell dormer loft conversion. This needs a reroof using existing slate as it is back pointed and has never been under felted, joists and beams for the new floor.
In preparation I have already tipped the loft insulation so it is clear now apart from old bits of back pointing that has dropped over the years, existing ceiling joist which are stopping as the new joists will be placed beside them.
Leftover slates from the reroof will be used for the kitchen roof and bay roof so no waste from them, or very little.
Thank you

As above. Builder's skip should be fine.
It's also a case of, how much stuff have you got to throw out?
It'll quickly become apparent if you need another skip anyway.0
