Accident recovery in Hendon and Colindale.

The southern end of the M1, Staples Corner and the Brent Cross interchange form one of the more demanding pieces of road in London: high speed differentials, heavy merging, and elevated sections with nowhere to stop.

If your vehicle is stopped on the motorway itself, it will be moved to a place of safety by the operator appointed for that road, working with the police. We can collect from there. On the A406 and A41 we can usually recover directly once it is safe.

The shopping centre car parks and the newer development around them carry height restrictions and, in places, quite tight ramps. As elsewhere in NW London, that often rules out a conventional recovery truck and points towards a van or a Hiab working from outside.

Tell us the car park and the level and we will establish what can physically get to the vehicle before dispatching anything.

Much of NW4 and NW11 is interwar and postwar housing with reasonable access, though the streets around Golders Green are busier and more heavily parked.

Where there is no driveway, the usual London problem applies: an undriveable vehicle has to go somewhere, and a controlled parking bay is not a long-term answer. Secure storage while the damage is assessed usually is.
