What Snow & Ice Recovery Looks Like in SW12
When roads ice over, we recover vehicles that have slid, stalled or become stuck — with grip equipment for safe winter loading. On every SW12 job that means:
- Grip mats & winter rigging
- Slid-off & stuck-fast recovery
- Cold-start assessment
- 24/7 winter dispatch
- Icy-road & slope recovery
