Driving Directions from Our Croydon Depot to Epsom

Under twenty-five minutes west, with the A24 doing most of the work at the Epsom end.

Epsom is about 7.8 miles from our Croydon depot at Pear Tree Farm, Featherbed Lane, a typical drive of 24 minutes on the A232 Cheam Road and the A24 Epsom Road. We run 20 cubic yard grab lorries into KT17, KT18 and KT19 for muck away, aggregate and topsoil delivery, under waste carrier registration CBDU480663.

How long does the run from Croydon to Epsom take?

Epsom is one of our westward runs: about 7.8 miles from Pear Tree Farm, Featherbed Lane, and a typical car journey of 24 minutes on the A232 Cheam Road and then the A24 Epsom Road. The route crosses out of Greater London near the end of the trip, so a job here is priced and planned as a Surrey job even though the drive is shorter than several of our London ones.

Add roughly 15 to 20 per cent to that time for a loaded eight-wheeler. Times are typical rather than guaranteed, and in Epsom the calendar matters as much as the clock. Epsom Market Place holds regular street markets on Thursdays and Saturdays plus a farmers’ market on the first Sunday of each month, occupying the Market Place at the centre of the High Street on those days, so a town-centre delivery on a Thursday morning wants a different hour or a different approach.

Which roads do we use?

  1. Set off from Pear Tree Farm, Featherbed Lane, Croydon CR0 9AA.
  2. Head west on the A232 Cheam Road.
  3. Join the A24 Epsom Road, which runs in from the Ewell Bypass and becomes East Street on the way to the town centre.
  4. Through the centre the A24 runs as Epsom High Street, then out south as South Street and Dorking Road towards Epsom Hospital and Ashtead.
  5. For the Kiln Lane Industrial Estate, Kiln Lane is taken directly off the A24 north-east of the town centre.
  6. For the Longmead Industrial Estate, the B284 Hook Road runs north-west out of the town centre and forms the estate’s western boundary, with the units reached from Longmead Road.

What should an Epsom site plan for?

The single most useful thing to settle before booking an Epsom job is which industrial estate you are on. Longmead and Kiln Lane together form the town’s main employment area, roughly 35 hectares between the B284 Hook Road and the A24, with around 126 companies and an estimated 1,941 jobs. They are separated by the railway line and have no direct vehicular connection to one another, so a lorry has to travel back out to the A24 or Hook Road to get from one to the other. Two units a few hundred metres apart as the crow flies can be two separate visits, and that is worth knowing before a delivery is split across both.

It is also worth being clear about what the ground will produce. Epsom and Ewell Borough Council’s 2024 flood risk assessment records the superficial geology of a central band including parts of Epsom town centre as Quaternary River Terrace sand and gravel, with chalk pervasive across the south-eastern side of the borough towards Epsom Downs. Granular terrace spoil handles very differently from chalk. On brownfield plots the classification matters more still: the officer report for the former Gas Holder Station site on East Street identifies the decommissioned gas works as contaminated land requiring demolition and site-wide remediation, and material of that kind has to be classified before it moves. Tell us what the site investigation says and we will tell you whether it is a standard booking.

What do we carry between Croydon and Epsom?

KT17, KT18 and KT19 give us a broad mix, because the town runs from dense residential streets to 35 hectares of industrial estate. Muck away from extensions and landscaping, rubble and hardcore off unit refurbishments, and deliveries of MOT Type 1, ballast, sharp sand and topsoil all move on this route. Our Epsom service pages cover grab hire, muck away and topsoil supply, including the materials we cannot take on a standard booking.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Epsom from your Croydon depot?

About 7.8 miles, a typical car journey of 24 minutes from Pear Tree Farm, Featherbed Lane, CR0 9AA, on the A232 Cheam Road and the A24 Epsom Road. A loaded eight-wheeler needs roughly 15 to 20 per cent longer. The figure is a typical drive time rather than a guarantee, particularly on market days in the town centre.

Can you get a grab lorry into the Longmead and Kiln Lane estates in Epsom?

Yes, but they are two separate journeys. Longmead sits off the B284 Hook Road and is reached from Longmead Road, while Kiln Lane comes directly off the A24, and the railway line between them means there is no vehicular link. If you need loads at both, tell us at the booking stage so the visits are planned rather than discovered on the day.

Does Epsom’s recycling centre take business waste?

Yes, unusually for a Surrey site. Epsom Community Recycling Centre on Blenheim Road, KT19 9DL has a separate commercial entrance and accepts chargeable business waste, and vans and trailers may use the site under Surrey’s rules. Pedestrian access is not permitted. For grab loads we still remove material under waste carrier registration CBDU480663 with a transfer note.

Do the Epsom market days affect deliveries?

They do for town-centre addresses. Street markets run on Thursdays and Saturdays, with a farmers’ market on the first Sunday of each month, and they occupy the Market Place at the centre of the High Street. For a High Street or Market Place job we book an earlier slot or approach from South Street or East Street instead, which is easier to arrange in advance than on arrival.
