How we price demolition →Demolition in Upminster: what to know
Upminster sits at the eastern edge of Greater London, with inter-war houses on generous plots around Hall Lane and Cranham and open green belt lanes towards Corbets Tey and North Ockendon. Gerpins Lane, the Havering reuse and recycling centre, is on the southern edge of the town.
Building work here is largely domestic: loft conversions, side and rear extensions, and remodelling of the larger houses north of the station. Corbets Tey Conservation Area, designated in 1990, covers one of the three medieval settlements that formed Upminster. Cranham Conservation Area has an Article 4 Direction, so gates, walls and fences there need planning permission. Station Road, St Mary's Lane and Corbets Tey Road form the shopping area, so a skip is better placed on a drive than on those roads. The A127 is a red route, and the M25 is about 1.5 miles east.
Parking in Upminster is mostly permit bays and yellow lines, so the truck stops for loading only and the crew works fast; tell us where the nearest legal stop is 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 Havering 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.
