The SE26 Seized Brakes Service
Brakes seized solid and the wheels won’t turn? We use skates and a winch to load your vehicle onto the flatbed without dragging it. On every SE26 job that means:
- Delivery to your garage
- Fully insured transit
- Locked-wheel loading
- Recovery skates & winch
- No tyre-flatspotting drag
Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
The Sydenham side of SE26 is classic inner London: permit bays, school streets, width restrictions. Crews routing in via Brockley Road deal with all of it daily, so the seized brakes job gets done without a parking drama on top of a breakdown.

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 SE26. That applies exactly the same around Sydenham as anywhere else we cover.
What does seized brakes cost in SE26?
From £60 for a standard callout in SE26, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
Can you get to SE26 quickly at night?
Around Sydenham we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
My car is in a resident permit bay in SE26 — is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our SE26 work happens on permit-controlled residential streets. The truck positions once, loads, and moves off — and if it’s your own bay outside your home, the whole job can be done from there.
