24-Hour Tyre Repair in Richmond
Ring about a slow leak in Richmond at any hour and the first thing worth knowing is that a slow puncture is not always a puncture.
Mobile 24-hour tyre repair across Richmond
Air escapes from a wheel in three places: through the tread, past the valve and around the bead where the tyre seals against the rim. That third one is the quiet culprit on older alloys, because the aluminium under the seating area corrodes into a fine white powder that lifts the tyre off its seat by a fraction of a millimetre. The tyre then weeps air steadily all round rather than losing it from a point, so nothing shows up in water on the tread and nobody can find a nail.
The fix is not a patch. The tyre comes off, the seating area on the wheel is cleaned back to clean metal, the bead is dressed and the tyre goes back on and reseats properly. It is a smaller job than a repair and it saves a tyre somebody might otherwise have sold you. That is the sort of thing worth having looked at properly at whatever hour it is convenient, on a drive near Kew or in a bay off Lower Mortlake Road, rather than topping it up for another fortnight.
Nobody wants to be stood over a wheel at four in the morning on Richmond Hill, and with us you are not. You ring, we come out, and the wheel comes off while you sit in the warm, on a driveway in Petersham or wherever the car ended up. The tyre is inspected properly, because a puncture at that hour deserves the same standard as one at midday: if the damage is in the tread and the casing is sound it is repaired to British Standard and rebalanced, and if it is not, a replacement goes on from the van. We do that anywhere in Greater London, on any day of the year. Card and contactless are taken on site, whatever the hour.

Local knowledge across Richmond
A tyre that keeps going down with no puncture in it is a routine call around Richmond, and on an older alloy the answer is often corrosion under the bead rather than anything in the tread. It gets found by taking the tyre off the rim, which happens at the kerb at whatever hour suits. If the fix is a clean and a reseat, that is what you pay for.
Typical 24-hour tyre repair jobs in Richmond
No nail anywhere
A car in Kew had been losing air for a month with nothing in the tread. The wheel had corroded under the bead and was weeping air all the way round.
Cleaned and reseated
An older alloy near Mortlake needed the seating area taking back to clean metal. The tyre went back on and held pressure properly for the first time in a year.
Valve, not tyre
A slow leak on a car near North Sheen turned out to be a perished rubber valve. It was replaced in minutes and the tyre itself needed nothing.

24-Hour Tyre Repair in Richmond, FAQs
Because it may not be one. Corrosion under the bead or a tired valve will lose air steadily without any hole in the tread to find.
The tyre comes off the rim and both the bead area and the wheel seat get inspected. It is the only way to see either of them.
Not usually, but it will never hold pressure properly until it is cleaned back, and running low pressure is what damages tyres.
Usually not. Once the seat is cleaned and the bead dressed, the same tyre goes back on and holds. A new tyre on a corroded seat would leak in exactly the same way.
Every night of the year, across Richmond, Kew, North Sheen and up towards Petersham.
