Accident Recovery in Brockley, Lewisham
The moments after a collision in Brockley are stressful enough without worrying about who will move your car. We recover non-drivable and badly damaged vehicles quickly and carefully, and we treat people the way we would want our own family treated.
Accidents on roads like Brockley Road (B218) and Brockley Rise need clearing quickly, both for your safety and for everyone else's. Our operators are trained to load damaged vehicles without making things worse, including cars on their side, in a ditch or wedged against street furniture.

Depending on the traffic we come in via Brockley Road (B218) or Brockley Rise. When you ring you get a realistic window for that moment, not a best case — and our driver calls you as they get close.

Where we work in Brockley
In and around Brockley we are most often clearing collisions on Brockley Road (B218), at the busy junctions near Hilly Fields, and on the approaches to Brockley station. We carry the equipment to deal with debris and fluid spills so the road can reopen quickly.
If you stop on Lewisham Way (the A20), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Hilly Fields, Brockley Market and Brockley and Ladywell Cemeteries, or the stations at Brockley and Honor Oak Park. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Accident Recovery in Brockley — FAQs
What should I do straight after an accident?
Make sure everyone is safe and call 999 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. Swap details with the other driver, take photos of the scene and the damage, and then ring us on 07961 100260. If the police are on scene, tell them we are on our way.
How quickly can you reach me in Brockley?
Brockley is about 9.2 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Brockley Road (B218) and Brockley Rise. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Will my insurer pay for the recovery?
Often, yes — accident recovery is usually part of a claim. Keep the reference number we give you and pass it to your insurer or claims company. We are happy to speak to them directly and send our invoice and storage details.
Do you cover all of SE4?
Yes — every street in SE4, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Crofton Park, Nunhead, New Cross and Ladywell, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can you store my car while the claim is sorted?
Yes. We can keep the vehicle at our gated, monitored yard in Erith until your insurer decides whether to repair or write it off. You can visit to collect belongings by arrangement.
My car won't start at Brockley station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Brockley, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Can you repair the damage as well?
Yes. Our own workshop handles accident and bodywork repairs, so if you want, the car can go straight from recovery into repair without a second tow. If your insurer insists on an approved repairer, we will deliver it there instead.
I have broken down on Brockley Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Do you clear the road after a collision?
Yes. We clear debris and deal with minor fluid spills so the road can reopen, and we work alongside the police and highways teams where they are involved.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Brockley?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Brockley, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
