Two-man delivery in Purfleet-on-Thames
Tasito provides dedicated two-man delivery services across Purfleet-on-Thames and the surrounding business areas, including Milehams Industrial Estate, Purfleet Industrial Park at Aveley, the Botany and Tank Lane area by the river, and the studio and construction sites in the town. From set, props, lighting, cases and cameras to equipment, fixtures and furniture, a crew of two travels with the vehicle and carries each item in and positions it where you want it, with the access agreed before anything is loaded. With Purfleet-on-Thames around thirteen miles from our Essex base along the A13, we are well placed for quick crewed deliveries and onward runs into London, Kent and throughout the UK.
Most crewed work here is set and production kit for the studios, or equipment going into the industrial units. Bookings run until 4pm, and an early call needs arranging the day before.
The parts of Purfleet-on-Thames we collect from
Milehams Industrial Estate is the main industrial site, with Purfleet Industrial Park at Aveley, Aveley Industrial Estate at South Ockendon and the Botany and Tank Lane area along the river. These have yard access, forklifts and room for a Luton, and a crew on board is normally there because the goods are going on inside a unit.
Studio and shoot addresses take set, lighting and cases, usually carried in against a call time. Construction sites work through a manned gate, so give us the gate, the slot, a site contact and any banksman or induction requirement, and we arrange inductions ahead of the day.
How the roads behave
The A13 is the road in from Essex and London. The motorway approach to the Dartford Crossing is close by, so the A13 here feels a queue early, and against a call time we build that into the window.
Purfleet-on-Thames is in Thurrock, outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. If the delivery is in Kent, the Dart Charge applies at the crossing, and we include it in the price with the route.
How the consignment is handled
The crew carries each item off the vehicle, through the door the building uses, and positions it where you want it inside. Packaging goes back with us where that was agreed at booking.
Assembly, rigging and installation are separate work, so send us the hour your own crew is working to and we land the delivery against it. Tell us the floor, the goods lift and its internal depth, the tightest doorway and the longest item, and for a studio add the gate and any window you have been given.
What we send and what fits
For set, lighting and construction lengths the flat bed is often the right vehicle, because an item that will not go through a van door will not go through a doorway without being carried in flat.
On the industrial estates the curtain-side Luton loads from the side by forklift, and the box Luton's tail lift covers a unit without one. Smaller loads go in a short to extra-long wheelbase. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.

Purfleet-on-Thames questions
Yes, and it is most of the crewed work we do here. The flat bed carries the oversized pieces, and the crew takes them off and positions them inside rather than leaving them at a gate.
Send it the day before rather than on the morning itself. Our 4pm figure governs when a booking can be taken, nothing else. A call time before dawn needs the vehicle and both crew members held in advance.
The gate, the slot, a site contact and any banksman or induction requirement. We arrange inductions ahead of the day so the crew goes straight in.
Yards and estate roads rather than docks, which makes it one of the easier sites on the corridor. Where the goods are going on inside a unit, the crew takes them from the yard to the floor.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it, with packaging removed if you ask at booking. Rigging and installation are separate trades, so give us the hour your crew is working to.
Not the charge, unless the job carries on into Kent, where a two-axle van pays the Dart Charge. The queue does affect it. The M25 approach is close and when it backs up the A13 here feels it sooner than most of the corridor.
Yes. Purfleet Industrial Park at Aveley and Aveley Industrial Estate at South Ockendon are both on this run, and both are ordinary estate addresses.
The delivery end decides it. Give us the building, the floor and the way in, and we will tell you which crew it needs when you book rather than on the day.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
