24/7 Emergency Hydraulic Response
Standard and out-of-hours hydraulic repairs in North and East London, Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire
Hydraulic breakdown holding up your next job? A failed hose or hydraulic fault can leave a lorry stationary, equipment out of action and work at a standstill. At 1st Choice Hydraulics Ltd, we provide emergency support to help minimise downtime and get your operation moving again.
We offer an estimated arrival time of 60 to 90 minutes, day and night, 24/7, in the locations listed under our 24/7 coverage below. In the separately listed out-of-hours locations, this arrival estimate applies only outside standard working hours when traffic conditions allow.

Estimated emergency arrival within 60 to 90 minutes
When a vehicle or machine stops working, you need to know how soon help can reach you. For the 24/7 locations below, our estimated arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes during both the day and night.
For Great Dunmow, Halstead, Stansted Mountfitchet, Hertford and Stevenage, the same estimate applies out of hours only, when traffic is clear.
For example, if a lorry develops a hydraulic fault in one of our 24/7 coverage areas, contact us with its exact location and a description of the problem. We can then advise on the expected response.
The estimate is for arrival, rather than repair completion. Your exact location, road conditions and engineer availability can affect the journey. We will advise on timing when you call.
