Local Thurrock operator
Being based in Aveley means we're already in the area when you call. Thurrock breakdowns, accidents and transport work get a fast response because we don't have to drive across London to reach you. Local knowledge of the estates, the access roads, the industrial sites and the realistic timing on the A13 and around the Dartford Crossing.
We do regular work for Thurrock residents, local businesses, the Tilbury Docks operators, Lakeside retail and the dealership and bodyshop network across the borough.
Dartford Crossing, A13 and the M25 east
The Dartford Crossing (A282) and the M25 either side of it are notorious for incidents and delays. We work this stretch constantly — recoveries on the QEII Bridge approach, breakdowns in the tunnels, incidents on the A13 between Grays and Rainham. PAS43-accredited procedure for live-lane and hard-shoulder work.
