Upminster sits at the eastern edge of Greater London, with inter-war houses on generous plots around Hall Lane and Cranham and open green belt lanes towards Corbets Tey and North Ockendon. Gerpins Lane, the Havering reuse and recycling centre, is on the southern edge of the town.
Upminster is divided by the railway. To the north, the garden suburb begun in 1906 on the Upminster Hall estate was planned with houses on half-acre plots, along roads named 'Gardens'. South of the line are the shops and smaller houses, including the early streets of Gaynes, Champion and Branfill Roads and the later New Place estate. Cranham, to the east, was built up from the 1930s and had 615 council houses by 1971. Many homes have a drive and side access, so bulky items and garden waste can often be loaded without passing through the house.
Parking in Upminster 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 Upminster 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.
