Recovery on Residential Streets
W2’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Paddington across to the W1 and W3 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 has slid on ice and won’t move — what now?

What does snow & ice recovery cost in W2?
From £60 for a standard callout in W2, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
What’s the realistic ETA for Bayswater?
Around Bayswater we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
My car is in a resident permit bay in W2 — is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our W2 work happens on permit-controlled residential streets. The truck positions once, loads, and moves off — and if it’s your own bay outside your home, the whole job can be done from there.
