07394 784531What we do

Recovery in Derbyshire, in practice

Derbyshire is where recovery stops being a car park job. Narrow lanes with dry-stone walls either side, blind crests, gateways that look wider than they are, and weather that turns while you are still deciding what to do. A good number of the photographs on this site were taken on exactly these roads.

That is why the winch matters here. Getting a vehicle back onto the road from a verge, a ditch or a wall is a controlled pull, not a yank on a strap, and doing it properly is the difference between a recovery and a second insurance claim.

North Derbyshire and the Peak District fringe are covered as standard from the Rotherham base. Further south, and for longer transport runs anywhere in the county, ring first and we will quote the job before we set off.

Whatever has happened, it is one of the eight things on the service list — most often a straight recovery, a jump start or a winch pull-out.

Broken down in Derbyshire? Do this first

Off the carriageway if it still moves. Hazards on. Everyone out through the left-hand doors and behind a barrier — not sat in the car, not stood beside it. Then ring 07394 784531 with the road, the postcode or a what3words reference. The full five steps are on the home page.

Derbyshire questions

How far into Derbyshire do you come?
North Derbyshire and the Peak District fringe are everyday coverage from the Rotherham base — roughly the Dronfield, Bolsover, Bakewell, Matlock and Hope Valley line. Further south is arranged in advance and quoted before we set off.
My car has gone off a Peak District lane into a wall. Can you get it out?
Yes. That is a winch job, and it is one of the most common call-outs on these roads. The vehicle gets pulled back onto the road under control so the recovery itself does not add to the damage the wall already caused.
There is no phone signal where I have broken down. What should I do?
Walk to where you can get a bar or two, ring 07394 784531, and give the nearest village, the road number and anything you can see — a pub, a bridge, a junction. Then go back and wait by the vehicle, off the carriageway. what3words is worth having on your phone before you set off into the Peak.
