The historic streets around the city centre are narrow, one way in places, and restricted for access, which makes them awkward in daylight and worse at eleven at night when a car will not move. There is no verge, no lay by and often no legal way to bring a second vehicle alongside for long. So the work has to be quick, tight and properly lit, and the van has to be able to get to you without blocking a street that has no alternative route.
That is what we plan for on a night call here. Tell us the street and the nearest cross road when you ring, and mention if access is restricted or if the road is one way, because it changes how we approach. We turn up under lamps of our own, work in the smallest footprint we can manage, and keep the disruption to a few minutes rather than an hour. Repairs where the tyre permits it, a replacement from stock where it does not. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s alike, billed as a midday visit would be.
The clock does not change the standard. We work by van lighting, wherever the car is stopped, on a driveway in London Colney or at the kerb, and if the tyre cannot be saved you get told at that hour rather than in the morning. Nothing is towed out of Jersey Farm or City Centre; the work finishes there. Pressures set before we leave Marshalswick, and the same on the M25 near junction 21A.

Driving a damaged tyre through the historic centre risks a rim and falls foul of the restricted access zones, and in residential areas like Marshalswick and Jersey Farm the on street parking leaves nowhere to work anyway. Both problems disappear if somebody comes to the car instead. A street name, a cross road and a note about access is usually all it takes.
A car stopped on a narrow one way stretch near Chequer Street. Knowing the direction before we set off meant we approached correctly rather than having to go round twice.
A vehicle in the centre where the usual route in was closed to traffic. Mentioned on the phone, planned around, and no time wasted.
A street with barely room for the van alongside. The job was done in a compact working area and the road was clear again quickly.
Yes. We keep the working area as small as possible and are used to streets with no room to spare. Telling us about one way systems or access restrictions helps a great deal.
Say so when you call and we will work out the approach in advance. It is much better dealt with on the phone than discovered at a barrier.
Yes, without a break, and that takes in Christmas and New Year. The person who picks up is the person who sends the van.
No. The figure holds whatever the clock says, and you have it before we set out.
