Fragile time-critical courier in Loughton
Tasito provides dedicated fragile and time-critical courier services across Loughton and the surrounding business areas, including Langston Road and the retail park beside it, the workshop units at Oakwood Hill and the old council depot site on Rectory Lane. From instruments and small electronics to finished panels, mirrored glass, prototypes and framed work, we collect directly from your premises and take the consignment straight to its destination in a vehicle matched to the item, with the handling agreed before anything is loaded. With Loughton around twenty-four miles from our Essex base via the M25, we are well placed for quick collections and onward delivery into London, across the South East and throughout the UK.
Most of what we move out of Loughton is trade and workshop work: fit-out panels and equipment from Langston Road, and small, valuable items from the workshop units. Bookings run until 4pm, and earlier is better on this road.
The parts of Loughton we collect from
Langston Road is the largest business area, with the retail park beside it. There is room to turn on the estate roads and get to a door, so the carry is short and the choice of vehicle stays open.
Oakwood Hill and the old depot site on Rectory Lane are small workshop units with no forklift and often no yard. The item comes off by hand, so we send a short or medium wheelbase and ask for someone at the door. Tell us before the day if the doorway is narrow or the unit is up a step.
How the roads behave
We come in via M25 junction 27, which is busy in both peaks, and the A121 towards Epping is slow with nothing running parallel to it. With a little notice we choose the hour, which keeps the driver unhurried while the item is being handled.
Loughton is in Epping Forest district, outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. If the delivery is in London, the charges for that address apply, and we include them in the price with the route.
How the consignment is handled
Your consignment travels on its own, with no co-loading and no depot stop. Instruments are restrained so nothing can move, glass and finished panels stand upright and braced with the edges covered, and nothing rests on a finished face.
We do not pack or build cases. The driver will tell you at your premises if the wrapping is not up to a motorway run, and an item that needs a case is flagged at booking. Our part ends with the signature at the agreed point.
What we send and what fits
Instruments, small electronics and single items go in a short wheelbase, which reaches workshop doors nothing bigger will. Longer panels go in a long or extra-long wheelbase.
Langston Road will take a Luton, and the box body's tail lift suits a unit with no forklift. Anything longer than a van door goes on the flat bed. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.

Loughton questions
Yes. Langston Road has room to turn, so any vehicle in the fleet can be used. Oakwood Hill and Rectory Lane are workshop units with no forklift and often no yard, so a short or medium wheelbase stops closest to the door. Give us the site as well as the town.
By hand, which is why we ask for someone at the door and send a vehicle that can stop close to it. Tell us at booking if the doorway is narrow or the unit is up a step.
No. Packing and case-making are separate trades. We carry what you hand over, and if the wrapping will not survive the journey, the driver will tell you at your premises before loading.
No. Loughton is in Epping Forest district, which is Essex, so neither ULEZ nor the Congestion Charge applies, close as the London boundary is.
The delivery address sets the charges. We work them out at booking and include them in the price with the route.
A day ahead lets us choose the hour and the vehicle, which helps with junction 27 in the way. At shorter notice we take the booking where a vehicle is free and give you a window we can keep.
Yes. The two are next to each other, so a collection in one and a delivery in the other is a short job.
A named person, agreed at booking. On a one-off piece we would rather wait for that person than leave it with whoever is nearest the door.
