Local knowledge of Shirley, Croydon
In Shirley, Croydon we are mostly moving caravans between driveways, storage and dealers, and recovering outfits that have failed on Wickham Road (A232) or Shirley Road. We can also bring a caravan straight to our secure Erith yard.
If you stop on Wickham Road (the A232), 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: Shirley Windmill, Shirley Hills and Addington Hills viewpoint, or East Croydon station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.

Caravan & Trailer Towing in Shirley, Croydon — 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 Shirley, Croydon?
Shirley, Croydon is about 12.2 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Wickham Road (A232) and Shirley Road. 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 CR0?
Yes — every street in CR0, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Addiscombe, Addington, West Wickham and Elmers End, 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 East Croydon station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Shirley, Croydon, 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 Wickham Road — 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.
