Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
SW12’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Balham across to the SW11 and SW13 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
My car won’t start and it’s stuck on the driveway — can you remove it?
Yes. We winch non-running vehicles off driveways of any size across SW12 and load them onto the flatbed for onward transport. That applies exactly the same around Balham as anywhere else we cover.
What does driveway extraction cost in SW12?
From £60 for a standard callout in SW12, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
Can you get to SW12 quickly at night?
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.
