AdBlue in diesel in Sydenham London — what is different locally
Kerbside space in Sydenham London is tight, so the van is positioned to work from one side and the drained fluid is bagged and removed rather than decanted at the roadside.
Sydenham London has main-dealer coverage close by, so the honest answer on some jobs is that the roadside work is the drain and the reset belongs elsewhere. The local vehicle mix is domestic, so the tanks are small and a single bottle of the wrong fluid is enough to take the system out.
A drain done on the day is usually cheaper than a recovery plus a workshop slot plus the wait, but that is only true where the contamination direction allows it. Cold mornings in London produce a run of calls that turn out to be nothing more than fluid below −11 °C in a tank that has not yet warmed, and telling that apart from a real fault saves a wasted visit.
Local conditions shape how this is done, not whether it can be. That is a question about the fluid and the tank. Normally put right by a drain and flush, provided the engine has not been run. Coverage runs across London on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Will I need recovery from Sydenham London?
Only if the SCR system needs component work that cannot be done where the vehicle is. That determination is made on the phone before anything is booked.
I started the engine before I realised. What now?
Say so on the phone. If it ran only briefly the job is usually still a drain, a flush and a filter, with a fuel-system pressure check. If it ran long enough to run rough or cut out, injectors and the high-pressure pump may need testing, and that is quoted separately.
