About
FJL at Longcross Studios.
Longcross Studios sits just south of M25 Junction 11 in Surrey, on a former military vehicle test site that gives it one of the largest usable backlots in the country. That backlot is the point. Productions including Wonder Woman, The Crown and Mission Impossible have used Longcross specifically because you can build external sets at full scale, run vehicle stunts and stage exteriors that would not fit on a city studio lot. FJL collects at Longcross out of the Uxbridge depot, twenty-five miles up the M25 and a regular route for our drivers. Backlot productions throw out timber and steel by the lorry load on build weeks and need it cleared the same week. We turn up with the right containers and the right swap frequency, not a once-a-week empty that overflows by Wednesday.

Services at Longcross Studios.
Roll on roll off containers as the default for backlot set builds, swapped on demand rather than scheduled. Builders skips for smaller area builds. Dry recyclables for paper, card and clean plastics from production offices. Daily food waste during shoot weeks for unit base catering. General waste collection scaled to actual production load. Plant and aggregate skips where exterior builds need ground works. All three Simpler Recycling streams supplied as standard.
FAQ
Common questions about Longcross Studios.
Can you handle backlot scale at Longcross?
Yes. Roll on roll off containers are the default for builds on the backlot, with swap-outs on the day they fill rather than a fixed weekly schedule.
Do you collect at the unit base during shoot weeks?
Yes. Food waste from catering, dry recyclables and general waste from the unit base, daily during shoot and scaled back between productions.
Does Simpler Recycling apply to productions at Longcross?
Yes. Production companies with ten or more full-time staff have been subject to the three-stream rules since 31 March 2025. Food waste, dry recyclables and general waste collected separately.
How quickly can you respond when a build week is moved?
Same week in almost every case. Longcross is a regular run for our Uxbridge fleet, and changes to swap frequency are a phone call to the account manager, not a contract renegotiation.
