Recovery and roadside assistance across Hammersmith
Hammersmith is defined by the flyover and the gyratory, and both of them shape how we work here. The A4 carries a great deal of fast traffic with very few safe places to stop, and the gyratory itself is somewhere you do not want to be stationary for any longer than necessary.
If you have gone down on the flyover or the A4, get as far left as the road allows, hazards on, and stay out of the live lanes. Tell us which direction you are travelling in — on a road like this "near Hammersmith" can mean two very different approaches for our driver. Off the main roads we cover the whole of W6 and W14, including the streets around Brook Green and Shepherd's Bush Road.
When you ring 07961 100260, a person answers. We take your location, the vehicle details and what has happened, and you get a fixed price and a realistic arrival window before you put the phone down. Our driver rings you again as they approach, so you are not standing there wondering.
What we can do for you in Hammersmith
- Breakdown recovery from the roadside, a car park, your driveway or private land
- Accident recovery, including non-drivable vehicles and winching from awkward positions
- Jump starts and battery replacement — most flat batteries we can sort where the car sits
- Flat tyre assistance, fitting your spare or recovering you to a tyre fitter
- Collection and delivery for auction cars, project cars and SORN vehicles
- MOT collection and return, so you never take a morning off work for it
- Caravan and trailer transport, and vehicle scrappage with the DVLA paperwork handled
Fixed prices, no surprises
Every job is different, so we price each one on its own merits rather than reading from a list. Where the vehicle is, where it is going, what it is, and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, needs winching out of a tight spot — all of it changes the work involved. Tell us and we will give you a fixed figure for your job before we set off, with no obligation. That figure is then the price you pay.
What to do while you wait
If you are on a dual carriageway or motorway, get to the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area if you possibly can, put your hazards on, leave the vehicle by the left-hand doors and wait behind the barrier rather than in the car. On residential streets, park as far to the left as you can and stay visible. Keep your phone charged and to hand — our driver will call you.
Questions about recovery in Hammersmith
How quickly can you get to me in Hammersmith?
We are based at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road in Erith and we cover Hammersmith around the clock. Typical response across our patch is 30–60 minutes, though it depends on the distance, the traffic and how many jobs are running at the time. You will be given a realistic window on the phone, not an optimistic one — and if somebody closer would genuinely get to you faster, we will say so.
Do you cover W6, W14 at night and at weekends?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Hammersmith and the surrounding area, including bank holidays and Christmas Day. There is always a real person answering 07961 100260.
What does recovery in Hammersmith cost?
Every job is different, so we quote each one individually rather than working from a price list. What it costs depends on where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what sort of vehicle it is and whether anything about it makes the job harder — no keys, will not roll, stuck somewhere awkward. Tell us those things and we will give you a fixed figure on the phone, with no obligation.
Can you recover a vehicle from private land in Hammersmith?
Yes, provided you are the registered keeper or have the landowner's permission. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey car park or somewhere with a height restriction, please mention it when you ring so we send the right truck.
