Van died on me right on the seafront near Hove, embarrassing spot to break down in. Called them not expecting a quick answer but someone picked up straight away. Jump start sorted within 20 mins, back on with my day.

Searching HGV recovery near me Brighton at 3am on the A23, one of our fleet lorries just stopped near the London approach. They knew exactly where to send the truck and had the Hollingbury site access sorted before they even arrived. Sorted within 40 mins.

As a fleet coordinator I deal with breakdown callouts regularly and this was one of the better experiences. Lorry stuck near Hollingbury Industrial Estate, they diagnosed a fuel fault roadside and had it moving within the hour. Genuinely useful when you're managing several vehicles at once.

Ran out of fuel near Moulsecoomb, silly mistake on my part. They didn't make me feel daft about it, just delivered fuel straight to me and I was off again in 20 mins.

HGV air brake fault near Patcham, pressure warning going off which is never a good sign. Diagnosed the relay valve on site and fixed it there and then, saved us a full recovery job which would've cost way more.

Puncture right by Rottingdean, coastal road so a slightly awkward spot to be stuck. Fitter found us fine though, repaired rather than pushed a new tyre on us which I appreciated, saved a bit of money too.

FAQ

HGV Recovery Brighton
Questions Answered

Ten of the most common questions hauliers and fleet managers ask before they call. If yours isn't here, ring us.

Is there an HGV recovery service near me in Brighton?
Yes. Roadway Assist provides HGV recovery across all of Brighton — every postcode, the A23, A27, and Hollingbury Industrial Estate. DVSA-certified Class III operators, 24/7. Call 07782 622388 and a real person answers immediately.
Can you recover an HGV from the A23 or A27 hard shoulder near Brighton?
Yes. HGV recovery on the A23 and A27 is a core part of our Brighton service. We notify Highways England before any hard shoulder attendance, with full coverage across both routes.
Do you recover HGVs from Hollingbury Industrial Estate and Brighton Marina?
Yes. HGV recovery at Hollingbury and the marina approach roads is one of our most frequent Brighton callouts — our operators know the site access points and gate procedures.
How much does HGV recovery cost in Brighton?
No call-out fee. Fixed price quoted before any operator is dispatched, based on HGV type, weight, load, and location. Fleet account holders receive monthly invoicing.
How quickly can you reach a broken-down HGV in Brighton?
Depot and industrial estate HGV recovery: typically 28–36 minutes. A23/A27 corridor recovery: typically 32–44 minutes depending on Highways England coordination.
Can you recover an articulated HGV in Brighton?
Yes. Full articulated HGV recovery — tractor unit and trailer — using fifth-wheel coupling kit and trailer decoupling equipment on every motorway and Hollingbury callout.
Do you handle refrigerated HGV recovery in Brighton?
Yes. Refrigerated HGV recovery operates under our time-critical load protocol — temperature window confirmed on the call, with cold-storage transfer arranged if recovery will exceed the safe limit.
Do you cover the Brighton city centre?
Yes. Full city centre coverage, alongside every surrounding area of Brighton and Hove.
Can you attend an HGV breakdown at a Brighton depot or industrial estate?
Yes. Hollingbury, Portslade, and Preston Park industrial estates are all attended directly — depot HGV recovery doesn't require Highways England coordination, so response is typically faster than motorway callouts.
Do you provide fleet accounts for Brighton HGV operators?
Yes. Fleet accounts are available for Brighton hauliers and logistics operators — monthly invoicing, priority dispatch, and single-call coordination for HGV recovery across your fleet.
