How we price demolition →Demolition in Chipping Ongar: what to know
Chipping Ongar is a small market town in the Epping Forest district built along a narrow High Street, with housing estates at Shelley to the north and Marden Ash to the south and farmland and rural lanes all around. There is no recycling centre in the town; the nearest is Brentwood's at Coxtie Green Road, about 6 miles away.
The Local Plan allocates housing sites around Ongar, including land west of Ongar for about 99 homes, guided by a concept framework, and Bowes Field for about 135, and an application has also come forward on land at Fyfield Road. Renovation of listed buildings in the High Street conservation area requires consent, and the narrow stretch of the High Street leaves no room for a skip on the carriageway. Post-war houses towards Shelley are typical candidates for extensions and loft conversions. Off-street space near the centre exists at The Pleasance car park and around Bansons Lane.
Out on the lanes around Chipping Ongar we send the smaller truck, which gets down farm tracks and village roads a skip lorry can't. 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.
