A caravan or trailer that has failed at the roadside is a bigger problem than a car, because you usually cannot simply leave it. We have the equipment and the experience to move them safely, whether that is an emergency at the side of the A2 or a planned relocation between sites.
What we handle
- Touring caravan recovery and transport
- Trailer, horsebox and plant trailer moves
- Site-to-site relocations and seasonal storage moves
- Recovery following a tow car breakdown — we can move both
- Damaged, punctured or seized-axle units
Before you set off this season
Caravan tyres age out long before they wear out. Check the date code on the sidewall and replace anything over five years old regardless of tread. Check the wheel nut torque, the brakes after winter storage, and the noseweight — an incorrectly loaded caravan is the main cause of snaking at speed.
Weight matters
When you call, tell us the unit's MTPLM and its length, and whether the wheels and brakes turn freely. It lets us send the right vehicle first time.

Questions we get asked
I searched for vehicle recovery near me — how close are you?
Our yard is at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road in Erith, DA8 2AD, and every truck starts from there. If you are in Bexley, Dartford, Greenwich or anywhere in that belt we are usually with you inside half an hour. Further into London or out towards Medway and Maidstone it is closer to an hour. Ring us with your postcode and we will give you a real number rather than a hopeful one — and if somebody closer would genuinely reach you faster in an emergency, we will say so.
Do you do MOTs and servicing as well as recovery?
Yes, and it is a bigger part of what we do than most people realise. We MOT, service and repair vehicles at our own workshop in Erith, and we collect and deliver free of charge across London and Kent — so you do not need to take a morning off to sit in a waiting room. If the MOT turns up work, we can do it there and then rather than sending you somewhere else, and we stock new and used parts ourselves.
Can you fit a tyre at the roadside, or only tow the car?
Both. If you have a serviceable spare we will change the wheel where you are. If you have no spare — and most new cars are sold without one — we can bring a replacement tyre out and fit it on the spot. Tell us the tyre size when you ring; it is on the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16. The exception is a fast road or a motorway, where we recover the car somewhere safe first, because kneeling beside a live carriageway is how people get hurt.
How quickly can you get to me?
Across our home patch — Erith, Belvedere, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Welling and Dartford — we are typically with you inside 30 to 60 minutes. Further out across London it depends on distance and traffic, and we are honest about that: when you ring, we give you a realistic arrival window based on where our nearest truck actually is, rather than an optimistic guess. If traffic changes it, we call you and tell you.
Are you really available 24 hours?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including Christmas Day and bank holidays. There is always a real person answering 07961 100260 — no call centre, no queue, no automated menu.
