Screws and nails are the standard Hanwell puncture.
A proper repair takes the tyre off the wheel. We break the bead, look at the inner liner to check the object has not tracked sideways and that the tyre has not been run down, ream the injury out and fit a unit that plugs the hole and seals the liner in one piece. Refit, balance, set the pressures. Around half an hour at the car, once we have reached you.
When it cannot be repaired we say so on the spot. A screw sitting in the shoulder, or two injuries too close together, ends the conversation honestly rather than with a patch that leaks in a month.
Half the urgency in these calls comes from not knowing how long it will take. An hour you can plan around; an unknown you cannot. Stopped on the A40 or sat on a drive, that sequence does not change. Blocked drive in Elthorne? Open kerb in Norwood Green? Either works. Which street in West Ealing, which way the car sits in Boston Manor, and we are set.

Building work is a permanent feature of these streets, and the fixings it drops end up in tyres. That is genuinely good news, because a screw through the centre of the tread is exactly the damage a proper repair handles. What matters is not driving miles on it first: get the car parked somewhere legal off the Uxbridge Road, leave the screw in place and call, and the odds of saving the tyre stay high.
A car parked near a skip on a terraced road picked up a screw in the rear tread the following morning. Dead centre, no liner damage, nothing else in the tyre. Repaired properly, balanced, and back on the car inside half an hour.
There was no moving the car and no room behind it, so the work happened alongside in the bay with the van shielding the road side. The tyre came off, the injury was cleaned and the repair went in without the car leaving its space.
A driver had emptied an aerosol into a tyre on the Uxbridge Road before calling us. The liner had to be cleaned out completely before a patch would bond to it. Doable, but it added time, which is worth knowing before reaching for the can.

So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
Really great service to repair a flat tyre. Easy to coordinate via WhatsApp, arrived promptly, good communication and a fair price.
Leave it exactly where it is. While it sits in the hole it slows the leak, and it also shows us precisely where to look. Pulling it out on a driveway usually turns a slow puncture into a flat tyre before we get there.
No. The repairable area is the central band of the tread, roughly the middle three quarters. The shoulder flexes too much for a patch to stay bonded, so anything out there means a replacement regardless of how small it looks.
Considerably, which is the whole reason to do it. Where a repair is genuinely available we will always offer it first. We are not going to talk you into a tyre you do not need when a proper repair will see the tread out.
Yes, around 6mm across for a car tyre, and the injury has to be roughly straight through rather than a long tear. Larger than that, or a slit rather than a hole, and the casing has lost too much strength to be trusted.
Only in that we rebalance it afterwards. The patch weighs very little, but taking a tyre off the rim and refitting it moves where the existing weights need to sit, so it goes on the balancer as a matter of routine.
