Red Routes, Bus Lanes & Tight Streets
EC1 sits in the busiest part of London: red routes, bus-lane cameras and one-way systems from Clerkenwell through to Holloway Road. Our drivers handle driveway extraction here daily — they know where a truck can legally stop, how to load quickly on a live carriageway, and how to keep you clear of PCNs while we work.

- Pre-booked or same-day
- Tight-driveway extraction
- Non-runner removal
