£89 is the call-out. An AdBlue tank drain and flush is quoted on the phone before a technician travels. If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.

Contaminated AdBlue in Chelsea London — what is different locally
Access in Chelsea London is the usual urban picture — permit bays, narrow entrances, sometimes an underground car park with a height limit, all of which is worth mentioning on the call so the right van is sent.
Because Chelsea London sits inside a large urban dealer network, a vehicle that truly needs a dealer-level reset is not far from one — the question is whether it needs one at all. 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.
The cost split is simple and it is stated up front: the call-out, the drain and flush, and separately anything the SCR system itself needs. AdBlue freezes at around −11 °C, and London gets there most winters. Frozen fluid is not spoiled fluid — the tank and lines are heated by design and it thaws on its own — but a genuine level or quality fault reads much the same on the dash, which is why the two get confused.
Whether this job is a roadside one depends on the direction of contamination rather than on the postcode. Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. Coverage runs across London on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.
