How we price demolition →Demolition in Loughton: what to know
Loughton is the most populous parish in the Epping Forest district, on the Central line, with Victorian and Edwardian houses on the hills around the High Road and the post-war Debden estate to the east. Trade and retail premises are concentrated along Langston Road and Oakwood Hill, and the nearest tip, at Chigwell, takes cars only and no DIY waste or rubble.
A major housing site in Loughton is the former college land on Borders Lane in Debden, which has permission for more than 400 homes in blocks of up to five storeys, and the 1950s shops and flats on The Broadway are being refurbished. Elsewhere, work consists largely of extensions, loft conversions and refits of Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war houses. In the York Hill, Staples Road and Baldwins Hill conservation areas the roads are hilly and planning controls are tighter, so skip lorries need careful routing and any skip placed on the highway must be licensed.
Blocks and conversions mean stairs and shared bin stores; the crew brings it all down, so tell us the floor when you book. 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.
