Light commercial vehicle recovery in Billesley

Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.

From Oldbury to Billesley is 9 miles. On a commercial vehicle job we ask plated weight and load status on the call so the right truck arrives - not the wrong one that then has to leave and come back.

Billesley — what we see on the ground

Billesley's residential layout means a lcv job here could be anywhere from Yardley Wood Road trading units to a residential turning near Billesley Common. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Billesley

Loaded LCV over plated weight in Billesley?

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 Billesley depots?

Yes - fixed rates by postcode, single invoice per week. Ring the office to set up.

VAT invoice for the recovery in Billesley?

Yes - included on request.

Tipper stuck in the up position in Billesley - 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.
