Caravan & Trailer Towing in Ilford, Redbridge
We tow caravans, trailers and horseboxes to and from Ilford — 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 Eastern Avenue (A12) or a planned relocation from Ilford.
How quickly we reach Ilford
Our trucks start from Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, roughly 6.9 miles from Ilford. For an emergency that means we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, usually arriving via Eastern Avenue (A12) or North Circular (A406). We will never promise a time we cannot keep — if the traffic is bad, we tell you on the phone.

What it costs in Ilford
Every job in Ilford is priced on its own merits rather than from a list. 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. Tell us, and you get a fixed figure on the phone with no obligation. That figure is the price you pay. We take card and bank transfer.

Caravan & Trailer Towing in Ilford — 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 Ilford?
Ilford is about 6.9 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 Eastern Avenue (A12) and North Circular (A406). 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 IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4?
Yes — every street in IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Barkingside, Stratford, Thamesmead and Woolwich, 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 Ilford station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Ilford, 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 Eastern Avenue — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
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 Ilford?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Ilford, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
