Emergency recovery in Crawley

For a vehicle that has stopped, use breakdown recovery. For collision damage, use accident recovery and check whether an officer or your provider has already arranged collection.

Crawley sits between Gatwick and Pease Pottage with the M23 down its eastern side. Junction 10 serves the town and the A264 east, junction 11 is Pease Pottage at the southern end.

It is a new town, so it is built as neighbourhoods around a centre: Three Bridges, Ifield, Tilgate, Broadfield, Southgate and the rest. Manor Royal, on the Gatwick side, is one of the larger business estates in the south east.

Crawley collection and access details

  • Manor Royal, including business entrances and loading bays
  • The A23 through the town and up towards Gatwick
  • M23 junction 10 and junction 11 at Pease Pottage
  • Three Bridges station and its car parks
  • County Mall and the town centre car parks, height barriers permitting
  • The neighbourhood estates: Ifield, Tilgate, Broadfield, Southgate, Maidenbower

Manor Royal runs on vans

Manor Royal has warehouses, trade counters, workshops and offices. Give the business name and entrance so the driver can confirm a suitable approach.

If a working van breaks down, tell us its actual loaded weight where known and the intended garage. Confirm the garage can receive it before collection.

If you run vehicles from the estate, it is worth having a number that is not a call centre. Van and 4x4 recovery sets out what fits on the deck.

Car parks and the town centre

County Mall and other town centre car parks may have height or access restrictions. Tell us the entrance, level and posted height limit so we can confirm a collection plan.

If the truck cannot reach the vehicle, we need to confirm a safe collection method before booking. Do not move a damaged vehicle yourself to reach ground level.

The same goes for the tighter estate roads. Ifield, Tilgate and Broadfield are full of parking bays and narrow turns, so exactly where a car has stopped matters more than the postcode does.

The M23 through Crawley

Do not assume a hard shoulder will be available on the M23. Follow the signs and signals for the stretch you are on.

On a motorway, reach a place of relative safety if you can and switch on your hazards. Leave the vehicle only if it is safe, using the side away from traffic, and wait away from the carriageway. If you cannot get out safely, stay belted in and call 999 for the police. Follow the official guidance before arranging recovery.

Questions

Crawley questions

Do you cover Manor Royal?
Yes. Tell us the business name, entrance, loading-bay access and whether the vehicle is carrying a load. We confirm the right truck before booking.
Can you get to me at Pease Pottage?
Yes. Pease Pottage is M23 junction 11, at the southern end of the motorway. If you have stopped on the motorway itself, read the safety order on the motorway page first.
What about Three Bridges station?
We cover Three Bridges. Give the car park name, level or bay, any barriers, whether you have the keys and what the vehicle is doing.
Is Crawley too far from Horley?
Not at all. Crawley is the next town down the A23 and the M23 runs between the two. It is a local job, and you get the price before anybody moves.
Do you cover Ifield, Tilgate and Broadfield?
Yes, along with the rest of the Crawley neighbourhoods. Tell us which one and roughly where, because the estate roads all look alike on a map.
