How we price site clearance →Site Clearance in Tiptree: what to know
Tiptree is a large village in the Colchester district, home of the Wilkin & Sons jam factory, made up mostly of post-war estates and bungalows off Church Road, Maldon Road and Kelvedon Road. It has no recycling centre of its own: the nearest are Colchester's at Shrub End and Witham's on Perry Road, each roughly 7 miles away.
New housing in Tiptree is concentrated on its edges. A 200-home scheme at Barbrook Lane was allowed on appeal, 130 homes were permitted off Kelvedon Road in 2022, and nine homes were later proposed at Highlands on Kelvedon Road. The neighbourhood plan is intended to guide around 400 further homes. Within the village, bungalows and detached houses on roads such as Newbridge Road and Oak Road lend themselves to extensions and loft conversions. Where a driveway is available a skip can stand off the road; parking on Church Road, the village centre, is limited.
Access decides the method. Out on the lanes around Tiptree we send the smaller truck, which gets down farm tracks and village roads a skip lorry can't. Send photos of the site and its entrance and we'll say which vehicle we'd bring to Tiptree: the caged truck with a crew, or the grab lorry for soil and hardcore.
You get a waste transfer note for every load that leaves, which developers, agents and planning conditions from Colchester City Council often ask for. Suspected asbestos is left in place and reported to you.
