Lines are answered by the people who run the lorries, not a call centre. Same-day collection is often possible but always subject to availability.
Routes are ordered by distance. Drive times are typical car journey times on a clear road, and a loaded eight-wheeler adds roughly 15 to 20 per cent to them, so treat the figures as a planning guide rather than a promise.

A grab lorry is a working vehicle on a schedule, not a courier. The distance from the yard decides how many loads fit into a day, which in turn decides how quickly we can slot you in. A ten-minute run to Purley or Wallington can be shuttled several times in a morning. An hour each way to Crawley is a booked start time and usually a paired job, material down and spoil back on the same trip.
Each route page names the actual roads and junctions on the approach, the postcodes covered, and the local access constraints that affect where an eight-wheeler can legally stop. Where a weight limit, a red route or a controlled parking zone changes the answer, it is on the page for that route.
These are the routes with a page, not the limit of where the lorries go. We work to roughly a thirty-mile radius of the Croydon operating centre, covering South London, Surrey, the Kent border and West Sussex. If your postcode sits between two of the routes above, call the yard and ask.
Call 07778 541120 with the site postcode and what is on the ground, and we will give you a slot and a free quotation.
