Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
N5’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Highbury across to the N4 and N6 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.
N5: Streets & Areas We Reach
N5 means Highbury to us — plus every side street in between. It’s Islington territory, worked by the same crews that cover Liverpool Road and the roads around Emirates Stadium, and its neighbours N4, N6 and N3 are on the same dispatch patch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a flatbed better than a rope or dolly?
A flatbed lifts the whole vehicle clear of the road, so there’s no wear on the gearbox, tyres or driveline — essential for automatics, 4x4s and EVs across N5. For N5 callouts, the dispatcher will confirm any details specific to your street.
What does flatbed towing cost in N5?
N5 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.
Can you get to N5 quickly at night?
Around Highbury we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
The streets around Highbury are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work N5 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.
