Around Downham: roads, landmarks and stations

For Downham customers, the collection run to our yard usually goes via Downham Way. Non-runners, no-key vehicles and accident damage are all fine; we winch them on.

With 2 stations nearby — Grove Park and Beckenham Hill — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.

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.

What it costs for Downham

You will know the cost before we commit to anything. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job 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.

Secure Vehicle Storage for Downham — FAQs

How secure is your storage yard?

It is a gated commercial yard at Standard Wharf, Erith — the same site our recovery trucks work from, so there is usually someone about. It is not a field or a lock-up.

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 collect the car to put it into storage?

Yes. We collect from your address with our own truck and deliver it back when you need it. Non-runners are fine.

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.

How long can I store a vehicle?

From a few days — for example after an accident while your insurer decides — to months at a time. We charge by the week or the month.

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 I get to my vehicle while it is stored?

Yes, by arrangement. Ring ahead and we will make sure it is accessible.

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.

Do I need to tax or insure a stored car?

If it is off the road on private land you can declare it SORN, which means no tax is due. Many owners keep fire and theft cover — check with your insurer.

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.

What our customers say

“Work van died on a Sunday with a full load of tools in the back. They recovered it loaded so I did not have to empty it at the roadside, then repaired it during the week. Saved me two days.”

“They collect my van for its MOT and bring it back the same day. I have not taken a morning off work for it in three years now.”

Michael O.
Welling

“Had an old car sitting on the drive for years. They quoted a fair price, collected it free, and sorted the DVLA paperwork so I did not have to think about it again.”
