Know Your Way Around NW5
We treat NW5 as home ground: Kentish Town, the boundary roads shared with NW4, NW6 and NW3, and the routes in from the Camden side near Hampstead Heath. Name any corner of the district and a driver will know it.
Working Inner-London Streets
NW5’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Kentish Town across to the NW4 and NW6 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.
Flatbed Towing in NW5: What You Get
This isn’t a generic breakdown package — it’s a tilting flatbed that lifts all four wheels off the road, so there is zero drivetrain wear, delivered by drivers who work NW5 regularly. As standard you get:
- All four wheels off the road
- Zero drivetrain wear
- Low-angle loading for low cars
- Secure wheel straps, no chassis contact
- Ideal for automatics & AWD

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 NW5. In NW5 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
Will flatbed towing in NW5 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
NW5 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 NW5 quickly at night?
Typically around 30–60 minutes. Because NW5 shares a dispatch patch with NW4, the nearest driver is often already close by.
The streets around Kentish Town are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work NW5 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.
