A van that breaks down is rarely just a van: it is a working day, a delivery round or a job on hold, and often a load that still needs to get where it is going. We carry the right equipment to recover light commercials safely, loaded or unloaded, and we know London’s red routes, low bridges and loading restrictions. We dispatch from a network of vetted, fully insured local recovery drivers across London, the M25 and the UK, so whether you are a sole trader, a courier or running a fleet, help is rarely far away.

Van breakdown recovery across London: plan the pickup
A London postcode can cover several entrances, a busy main road and a restricted loading bay. Tell us the exact location of the van, the direction it faces and whether it can roll and steer. That helps us assess access before agreeing the recovery.
Car parks & loading bays
Tell us the entrance height, any ramp or barrier, and whether the van is above or below ground. A postcode alone cannot tell us if a recovery vehicle can reach it. Provide a site contact if access needs arranging.
Depots, workshops & business premises
Provide opening hours, gate instructions and room for loading. For a company van, have the authorising contact and receiving garage or depot details ready so the destination is agreed at the same time.
Transit, Sprinter, LWB & Luton van recovery
A registration and model are the starting point. Tell us if your Transit, Sprinter, Crafter or similar van has a long wheelbase (LWB), high roof, Luton box body or tail lift. Body size, fitted equipment and the load affect the recovery arrangement.
Loaded vans
Describe the tools, stock or materials carried and the approximate weight. We assess whether the load can stay aboard with the available equipment. A loaded van is not booked on the same assumptions as an empty panel van.
Locked wheels & non-runners
Tell us about seized brakes, missing keys, damaged steering or a gearbox that cannot select neutral. These details determine the loading requirements; suitability is checked before dispatch.
Your onward journey
Give the drop-off postcode and confirm the destination can accept the van. Mention passengers separately so travel arrangements can be discussed. A vehicle recovery booking does not automatically confirm seats for a whole crew.
For a quote, call 07960 200253 with your pickup, van registration, load, fault and destination. The published starting price is a guide; size, load, access and distance determine the agreed price for your job.
