The SW12 district takes in Balham, sitting within Wandsworth. It borders SW11, SW13 and SW10, all of which we cover with the same drivers — so if you’re right on a district boundary, it makes no difference to your ETA.

Frequently Asked Questions
My car won’t start on my driveway — will you come to my home?
Yes. We come to homes across SW12, jump-start your car on the driveway and test the battery to see if it needs replacing. That applies exactly the same around Balham as anywhere else we cover.
Will driveway jump start in SW12 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
SW12 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.
How long until a driver reaches SW12?
Around Balham we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
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.
