Two things shape a Tilbury job: the crossing on the way there, and port traffic once you arrive. The dock roads carry heavy goods vehicles all day and there are stretches with nowhere safe to stop a recovery truck. If you have broken down on a dock approach, tell us which one — some of them we work from the far end rather than pulling in beside you.
Tilbury is the furthest north we regularly go, and it is a genuine two-county job every time: over the river, do the work, and usually back again. That is worth knowing if the vehicle needs delivering to a garage in Kent rather than left in Essex — it is one job for us, not two.
