Recovery built around working vans
For tradespeople, couriers and small businesses, a van that won't start is lost income. Our van recovery service gets small and medium vans off the road and to your garage, workshop or depot quickly, 24 hours a day.
We recover vans on flatbed trucks, so there's no extra strain on the gearbox or engine. Just let us know the make, model and roughly how loaded the van is when you call, so we can send the right truck.
We cover Barking, Dagenham, Rainham, Romford, Ilford and across East London and Essex, including busy trade routes like the A13 and A12.
The real cost of a van off the road
A broken-down van affects more than the vehicle.
Missed jobs
Every hour waiting is an hour you can't work or deliver.
Tools and stock at risk
A van left overnight with tools or stock inside is a target for theft.
Bigger repairs
Driving on with a fault, especially when loaded, often makes it worse.
Unhappy customers
Late deliveries and cancelled jobs can cost you repeat work.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Pushing on to finish the job with a warning light showing.
- Leaving a loaded van unattended overnight on the street.
- Waiting for a slow callback when a local truck is nearby.
- Not telling the recovery company the van's size and load.
