How we price demolition →Demolition in Tilbury: what to know
Tilbury grew up as a dock town beside the Port of Tilbury, and most of its housing is terraces and flats laid out between Calcutta Road, St Chad's Road and the railway. The port and the warehousing off the A1089 make it one of the main freight and logistics areas in Thurrock.
The Tilbury Town Deal, awarded in July 2021, is funding public-realm improvements at Civic Square, a gateway scheme around Tilbury Town station and heritage links along Ferry Road towards the riverside and Tilbury Fort. The 1960s Broadway Estate has been through a regeneration programme that included self-build homes, and the inter-war council houses are the kind of stock that attracts refurbishment, rear extensions and loft work. Dock Road is a busy through-road and the neighbouring streets are in controlled parking zones, so skip positions and lorry stops are worth agreeing before work starts.
On Tilbury'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 Thurrock 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 cover
- Port of Tilbury, Tilbury Fort, London Cruise Terminal, Civic Square, Calcutta Road, Dock Road, St Chad's Road and Thurrock Park Way
- Access
- Mostly terraced houses and blocks of flats with limited off-street parking, so a skip commonly needs a road permit, and the A1089 dock approach carries heavy lorry traffic to the port.

Nearest tip to Tilbury

- Linford Household Waste and Recycling Centre, Buckingham Hill Road, Linford, SS17 0PP
- Hours
- Open every day 8am to 4pm all year (gates shut 15 minutes before closing). Closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday; New Year's Eve 8am to 12 noon.
- Rules
- No booking is needed, but the site is for Thurrock residents only and proof of address is required; trade waste is refused. Small vans and single-axle trailers under 1.8m need a council permit (6 visits a year, or 2 for a hired vehicle), trailers are only admitted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and larger vehicles such as Ford Transits, Luton vans, tippers, flatbeds and minibuses are not allowed in. Alternative: Linford is the only household waste site in Thurrock. Essex County Council centres such as Pitsea are restricted to residents of the Essex County Council area, so Thurrock households cannot use them.
