- From our yard
- Maldon is 30 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 and A130 north to the A414, then east through Danbury, so same-day wait and load and clearances are realistic when you book before 11am. Skips, skip bags and the grab come from the next working day. Item collections run on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, booked by 4pm the working day before.
- We cover
- Maldon High Street, Hythe Quay, Promenade Park, Fullbridge, The Causeway, Heybridge, Limebrook Way and Wycke Hill Business Park
- Access
- The centre has narrow side streets, older terraces and limited parking, so a skip there usually needs an Essex Highways licence; the post-war and new-build estates to the south and west have driveways but tighter estate roads.

Maldon at a glance
Homes
Much of central Maldon lies within a conservation area containing about 185 listed buildings. Victorian housing lines Spital Road, Mount Pleasant and Fambridge Road, larger houses stand on London Road, Victoria Road is mainly late-Victorian semi-detached, and Tenterfield Road has dense housing of around 1900. Article 4 Directions apply to several terraces of Victorian cottages. Gate Street, Silver Street and Coach Lane are narrow and winding, Market Hill and Cromwell Hill are steep, and Lodge Road is unmade, so clearing bulky items often means carrying them to wherever a vehicle can safely stop.
House clearance in MaldonBuilding work
Large-scale building around Maldon is concentrated in two garden suburbs: the south Maldon sites at Wycke Hill, planned for about 1,000 homes, and Westcombe Park at Heybridge, with more than 1,000. In the old town, work is mainly refurbishment and extension of period houses, and in parts of the conservation area Article 4 Directions mean that certain works normally permitted need planning permission. The narrow streets off the High Street, the gradients of Market Hill and Cromwell Hill and the unmade surface of Lodge Road all constrain where skip lorries can go.
