SK Recovery winch and lifting frame, ready to load a vehicle.

Our Brent base sits right at the start of the M1, so we are well placed to respond to breakdowns and recoveries on its southern stretches and to run transport jobs up and down the motorway.

Junctions and routes we cover

We regularly attend Junction 1 (Staples Corner), Junctions 5 (Watford), 6 and 7 (St Albans), 8 (Hemel Hempstead) and 10 and 11 (Luton), heading north out of London.

When you call, please have ready

  • Your location, junction or marker post and direction of travel
  • The make and model of the vehicle
  • Whether the vehicle will roll and steer
  • Where you would like the vehicle taken

If anyone is injured or you are in a live lane, call 999 first, then call us about the vehicle.
