How we price demolition →Demolition in Epping: what to know
Epping is a market town at the end of the Central line, strung along a single High Street and hemmed in by Epping Forest and green belt. It has no recycling centre of its own: Waltham Abbey's is the closest but takes cars only and no DIY waste, so van loads and rubble have to go to Harlow.
Epping's main development sites are in the town centre, where five linked schemes around St John's Road, Cottis Lane and Bakers Lane were approved together, providing a leisure centre, a multi-storey car park, commercial units and 269 homes. To the south, the South Epping masterplan area is allocated for at least 450 homes and a primary school. The Epping conservation area, designated in 1969, covers the High Street and holds 32 listed buildings, and Bell Common and Coopersale Street are protected too. Extensions and loft conversions are common in the inter-war semi-detached houses.
On Epping's terraced streets there's rarely a drive, so the truck stops in the road, right by the front door. Send photos of the structure and the access and we'll send a free estimate for demolition, loading and disposal. If the job turns out different on the day, with more to take down or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.
Domestic outbuildings rarely need permission, but check with Epping Forest District Council if the building is listed, in a conservation area or attached to a neighbour's wall. Asbestos cement roofs are removed first by a licensed contractor.
