Recovery on Residential Streets
Much of SW12 is controlled parking — permit zones, tight terraced streets around Balham, cars both sides. Our trucks are sized for exactly this, and drivers who work SW12 and SW11 and SW13 every week know which corners a flatbed can actually take.

- Enthusiast handling
- Soft-strap gentle loading
- Non-runner classic recovery
- Agreed-value insured transit
- Auction & sale delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you transport a classic that doesn’t run?
Yes. We winch non-running classics onto the flatbed and transport them fully insured across SW12 and the UK. That applies exactly the same around Balham as anywhere else we cover.
Will classic cars in SW12 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
From £60 for a standard callout in SW12, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
How long until a driver reaches SW12?
Typically around 30–60 minutes. Because SW12 shares a dispatch patch with SW11, the nearest driver is often already close by.
The streets around Balham are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work SW12 weekly know which roads take a full flatbed and which need a more compact truck. Tell us your road name and we’ll send the right one first time.
