Same-day collections in Purfleet-on-Thames, from Milehams Industrial Estate to the distribution parks and the film production sites.
Same-day courier service in Purfleet-on-Thames
Tasito provides dedicated same-day courier services across Purfleet-on-Thames, including Milehams Industrial Estate, the distribution parks along the A13 and the film production sites. From trade stock and machine parts to pallets, set and production equipment, we collect directly from your premises and deliver in a vehicle matched to the load. Our fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026, which matters here because construction sites in this corridor increasingly require it at the gate.
The industrial estates and the production sites
The established side is industrial. Milehams Industrial Estate is the main site, with Purfleet Industrial Park over at Aveley and the Botany and Tank Lane area along the river. These are ordinary estate collections with yard access, forklifts and room for a Luton, and they are the easiest part of this patch to serve.
The newer side is production and regeneration. Purfleet sits inside the Thames Estuary Production Corridor, and a £1bn regeneration of the town centre is under way with film and television studio development alongside it. That brings a different kind of consignment: set, props, lighting, cases, cameras, and the kind of awkward oversized items that do not palletise.
For production work the flat bed at 2.7m and 800kg is often the right vehicle rather than a panel van, and a two-person crew usually comes with it because production kit tends to need carrying rather than dropping.
Production deadlines are not office deadlines
If your delivery is to a studio or a shoot, the deadline is a call time rather than close of business, and it can be early in the morning or late at night. Tell us the actual time and we work to it. Our booking cut-off is 4pm Monday to Friday, but a delivery timed for a 6am call needs arranging the day before rather than the morning of.
Construction, and the site gate
The regeneration means a lot of construction activity, and construction sites in this corridor increasingly require FORS accreditation from the vehicles that deliver to them. A non-accredited van gets turned away at the gate with the load still on board.
Our fleet is FORS accredited and the accreditation was renewed for 2026. It is an audited standard covering safety, driver training, fuel efficiency and emissions management across the whole fleet.
For a site delivery we need the gate, the slot, the site contact and whether a banksman or driver induction is required. Inductions are arranged in advance.
Charges
No ULEZ and no Congestion Charge. Purfleet is Thurrock and therefore Essex.
The Dartford Crossing is the only charge in play, and only if the job goes into Kent: £4.20 for a two-axle van one-off, £3.60 on a pre-pay account, free between 22:00 and 06:00. The M25 approach to the crossing is close by and when it queues it affects the A13 here more than almost anywhere.
What we send
One pallet in a short wheelbase at 450kg, two standard or three Euro in a medium at 800kg, three standard or four Euro in a long wheelbase at 3.3m, four standard or five Euro in an extra-long at 4.2m, six in a Luton at 1,000kg. The curtain-side Luton loads from the side by forklift for the distribution sites, the box Luton has a tail lift, and the flat bed handles the set and construction lengths.
The fleet page has every class.

Purfleet-on-Thames questions
Two things. Established industrial and distribution, including Milehams Industrial Estate and the parks along the river, which are ordinary estate collections. And a growing production and construction sector, since Purfleet sits in the Thames Estuary Production Corridor with a £1bn town centre regeneration and studio development behind it.
Completely, and it is why this page covers two kinds of job. An industrial collection off Milehams is palletised, forklift loaded and priced on load length. A studio consignment is set, lighting or cases, rarely palletised, usually needing the flat bed at 2.7m and 800kg, often with a two-person crew and a call time instead of a delivery window. Tell us which you have and the booking goes very differently.
Tell us the day before rather than the morning of. Our booking cut-off is 4pm Monday to Friday, which is about taking the booking rather than about when we can deliver. A pre-dawn call time needs arranging in advance so the right vehicle and driver are allocated.
Yes. The fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026, which is what the sites along this corridor increasingly require. We need the gate, the slot, the contact and whether a banksman or driver induction is needed, with inductions arranged beforehand.
Not by the charge unless your job goes into Kent, which is £4.20 for a two-axle van. It is affected by the queue, though. The M25 approach is close and when it backs up the A13 here feels it sooner than most of the corridor.
Yards and estate roads rather than docks, which makes it one of the easier sites on this corridor. A forklift loads the curtain-side Luton from the side, and where there is no forklift the box Luton's tail lift lifts the pallet off. Six pallets at 1,000kg across the load either way.
Yes, along with Grays, Tilbury and West Thurrock. They sit on one corridor so the sensible shape is one vehicle with the stops sequenced rather than separate bookings.
Yes. Purfleet Industrial Park at Aveley and Aveley Industrial Estate at South Ockendon are both on this run and are ordinary estate collections.
