Secure Vehicle Storage for Ilford, Redbridge
Parking in Ilford is tight and often permit-only, which makes it hard to keep a second car, a project or an accident-damaged vehicle. We collect it from you and store it securely at our gated commercial yard in Erith, 6.9 miles away.
Our storage yard is the same site our recovery trucks work from, so someone is always about. Customers in Ilford use it for accident vehicles awaiting an insurance decision, project cars, seasonal vehicles and trade stock.
Collection from anywhere in Ilford
Collection is from your door anywhere in Ilford — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Ilford is about 6.9 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Eastern Avenue (A12) or North Circular (A406), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

Local knowledge of Ilford
We collect from anywhere in Ilford — the street outside, a garage, or a car park near The Exchange Ilford — and bring the vehicle straight to our yard. Delivery back works the same way.
With 3 stations nearby — Ilford, Seven Kings and Gants 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: The Exchange Ilford, Valentines Park and King George Hospital, or the stations at Ilford, Seven Kings and Gants Hill. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
What it costs for Ilford
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 Ilford — 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
