Caravan & Trailer Towing in Downham, Lewisham
We tow caravans, trailers and horseboxes to and from Downham — to storage, to a dealer, to a service centre or between sites. Everything is planned before we arrive, including access, hitch type and weight.
A caravan or trailer that has failed at the roadside is a bigger problem than a car, because you cannot simply leave it. We have the equipment and the experience to move them safely, whether that is an emergency on Downham Way or a planned relocation from Downham.
Arrival times in Downham
From our Erith yard to Downham is about 8.2 miles, so in an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes. The last stretch is normally Downham Way or Whitefoot Lane. Ring 07961 100260 and you will have an honest arrival time and a fixed price before you hang up.

Local knowledge of Downham
In Downham we are mostly moving caravans between driveways, storage and dealers, and recovering outfits that have failed on Downham Way or Whitefoot Lane. We can also bring a caravan straight to our secure Erith yard.
If you stop on Bromley Road (the A21), 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: Downham Health and Leisure Centre, Beckenham Place Park and Forster Memorial Park, or the stations at Grove Park and Beckenham Hill. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Honest pricing in Downham
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.

Caravan & Trailer Towing in Downham — FAQs
What do you need to know to tow my caravan?
The make and model, approximate weight, hitch type, where it is and where it is going, and anything about access — a narrow gate, a steep drive, a soft field. Photos help.
How quickly can you reach me in Downham?
Downham is about 8.2 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 Downham Way and Whitefoot Lane. 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.
Can you recover my car and caravan together?
Yes. If your tow car breaks down, we can recover both — the car on the truck and the caravan on tow — so you are not left with one of them at the roadside.
Do you cover all of BR1, SE6?
Yes — every street in BR1, SE6, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Grove Park, Bellingham, Bromley and Shortlands, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Do you move horseboxes and plant trailers?
Yes. We move horseboxes (empty), plant trailers, car transporters and box trailers. Tell us the size and weight so we send a suitable vehicle.
My car won't start at Grove Park station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Downham, 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 take my caravan into storage?
Yes. We can tow it straight to our secure yard in Erith and bring it back when you need it.
I have broken down on Downham Way — 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.
Are you insured to tow caravans?
Yes. We are fully insured for towing and goods in transit, and certificates are available on request.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Downham?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Downham, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
