What Seized Brakes Looks Like in E5

- Recovery skates & winch
- No tyre-flatspotting drag
- Delivery to your garage
Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
E5’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Clapton across to the E4 and E6 boundaries. Whether you’re boxed into a permit bay or stopped on a narrow through-road, we bring the right-sized vehicle for the street.
Know Your Way Around E5
We treat E5 as home ground: Clapton, the boundary roads shared with E4, E6 and E3, and the routes in from the Hackney side near Hackney Empire. Name any corner of the district and a driver will know it.
From E5 Breakdown to Back on the Road

- We winch your vehicle onto the tilting bed with all wheels off the ground.
- We deliver your vehicle safely to your home, garage or chosen address.

Frequently Asked Questions
My handbrake / brakes have seized — can you still load it?
Yes. We slide skates under the locked wheels and winch the vehicle onto the bed, so seized brakes are no obstacle anywhere in E5. In E5 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
Will seized brakes in E5 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
E5 jobs start from £60. The final price depends on the vehicle and exactly where in the district you are — call 07538 716531 and you’ll have a firm figure before anyone is dispatched.
What’s the realistic ETA for Clapton?
Yes — we run 24/7, and night jobs in E5 are often quicker than daytime because the roads are clear. Expect roughly 30–60 minutes.
Do parking restrictions in E5 affect the callout?
Rarely. A recovery in progress is exactly that — we position legally, work quickly, and handle the CPZ realities of Clapton as part of the job, not as your problem.
