Romford is the largest town in Havering, with a ring-road town centre of shops, offices and newer flats surrounded by inter-war suburbs such as Collier Row, Gidea Park and Rush Green and the post-war Harold Hill estate. Permit parking zones operate on streets near the centre, and any skip on the road needs a Havering Council licence.
Romford's housing changes by district. Victorian streets lie south of the railway and east of the Market Place. Collier Row is a 1930s estate north of the town, Gidea Park includes the Exhibition houses of 1910-11, built as Romford Garden Suburb, and Harold Hill is a London County Council estate of 1948-58, mainly brick terraces with some flats. Inter-war houses often have a drive and a side gate to the back garden. In terraces, and in flats around Waterloo Road, items usually come out through the house or down shared stairs.
Parking in Romford 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. The crew handles stairs, long carries and rear gardens; tell us about them when you book.
If waste from Romford is found fly-tipped, Havering Council traces it to the household, and the fine lands on you rather than the person you paid. Our carrier licence is CB/DU308513, and every job gets a transfer note with your address on it.
