How we price demolition →Demolition in Dunmow: what to know
Great Dunmow and the surrounding villages: bigger plots, longer drives, more interesting clearances.
House building around Great Dunmow is extensive. West of Woodside Way, two adjoining schemes total 790 homes with a primary school and sports fields; Smiths Farm adds 370 homes and a care home; and further phases are under way south of Stortford Road and at Woodlands Park. Around 200 homes are planned on the secondary school site at Parsonage Downs. In the conservation area covering the High Street and Market Place, listed buildings limit what can be altered, and the tight town-centre streets leave few places to stand a skip.
Villages and farm tracks around Dunmow can be narrow, so we check the access on a map before we set off and bring the right size of vehicle. 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 Uttlesford 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.
We do enough rural Essex work to know what we're walking into. We bring the right kit first time: no "we'll need to come back with the bigger truck".
