Sorted in Digbeth: loaded van handled 24/7
Digbeth is a industrial area of about B5/B9, and loaded van here is rarely just a mechanical question — it is also an access question. A vehicle stuck on converted creative units needs a different approach to one sitting in an open car park near Digbeth Coach Station. Roughly 1 miles of city sits between Digbeth and the centre, which is why we approach from M6 J6 rather than through it. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. Overnight, most work here is on railway arches rather than main roads. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.

What is actually going on
Where the van goes from here
We can recover your van to your regular garage, a fleet maintenance provider, your business premises, or your home — whatever makes most sense given the load and your plans for the rest of the day.
Keeping your load secure
Once your van is loaded onto our recovery vehicle, we make sure the contents inside remain secure for the journey — this is worth flagging to us if you've got particularly heavy, valuable, or awkwardly shaped equipment on board, so we can plan appropriately.
If you need access to your tools before recovery
If you need to grab specific tools or stock before the van's recovered — for instance if you're heading to a job with a different vehicle — let us know and we'll work around this where it's safe and practical to do so before loading.
- Flag any particularly heavy or valuable items on board when you call
- Let us know if you need access to specific items before we load the van
- Consider whether stock needs temperature control or careful handling
- We can take the van to your workshop, home, or a garage as needed
