Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on your tyre and wondering whether it is still safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car is parked, a lump you catch loading up on St James's Road, a split you see walking back to a space near Southwark Park, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Grange Road. Do not chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it is driveable or done.
Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on your tyre and wondering whether it is still safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car is parked, a lump you catch loading up on St James's Road, a split you see walking back to a space near Southwark Park, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Grange Road. Do not chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it is driveable or done.
The hard truth with sidewall and shoulder damage is that it cannot be repaired safely, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is the same story. If that is what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where you are parked. If the damage turns out to be shallow surface marking that has not reached the structure, we will tell you it is fine and not sell you a tyre you do not need. Bermondsey's tight kerbs and the constant squeeze for a resident space around Lower Road catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt can leave hidden damage. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it is needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot without a trip to a garage. We are across SE16 day and night, so a tyre you are nervous about never has to wait.
The tight kerbs around Jamaica Road and the parked-up streets off Lower Road catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock against a kerb on Grange Road can crack a tyre without leaving an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it is needed, replace on the spot so a dodgy tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Bermondsey drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Grange Road and found a bulge in the sidewall the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement at the kerb.
An older car on St James's Road had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it could not be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A parent loading up near Southwark Park noticed a gash in the tread shoulder. We checked it, judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Bermondsey, including Jamaica Road (A200), Tower Bridge Road (A100), Southwark Park Road and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal cords have gone and the tyre can let go without warning. Leave it and we will come across SE16 to replace it after the Grange Road knock.
Unfortunately not. Cracked and perished sidewalls fall outside the safe repair area, so a tyre like the one on St James's Road needs replacing rather than sealing.
It is worth a look. A knock on Lower Road can damage a sidewall internally with no obvious mark, so we inspect it and give you a clear verdict before you drive.
Yes. If a mark picked up near Southwark Park is only shallow and has not reached the structure, we say it is fine rather than sell you a tyre you do not need.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres in SE16 are swapped on the spot for the correct match.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Bermondsey, Greater London including Bermondsey (SE1), Rotherhithe (SE16), South Bermondsey (SE16), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Bermondsey is 30–60 minutes from dispatch, day or night, depending on traffic. We give you a live ETA the moment the van sets off.

Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.
