LCV broken down in Bartley Green? 24/7 recovery
Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.
Tippers, dropsides and box vans in Bartley Green break down where they are working - building sites, delivery drops, roadside compounds. Our 3.5t flatbed handles the weight and our driver knows to lock the tipper bed before a single strap goes on.
Bartley Green — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B32 sit inside the Birmingham City Council area, and light commercial vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near the A4123 Halesowen Road, deliveries into Adams Hill trading units, or on 1950s council housing where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Bartley Green
Loaded LCV over plated weight in Bartley Green?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
Commercial vehicle recovery contract for Bartley Green depots?
Yes - fixed rates by postcode, single invoice per week. Ring the office to set up.
VAT invoice for the recovery in Bartley Green?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Bartley Green - can you recover it?
Yes but the bed has to come down first. We carry a hand pump and know the emergency descent procedure on the main tipper makes. If it will not come down we flatbed with the bed supported.
