There is a point past which no tyre may legally be repaired, and it is worth knowing where it sits before somebody tries to sell you a patch. Anything in the sidewall is out. Anything on the shoulder is out. A cut that has opened the casing is out, wherever it is. A tyre run flat for any distance is usually out, because the inside has been destroyed even if the outside looks presentable. And tread below 1.6mm across the central three quarters is not legal at all, repaired or otherwise.
When the answer is replacement, the work is straightforward. The correct size comes off the van, the old tyre is broken off the rim, the new one is fitted and balanced, the wheel is torqued to the figure the manufacturer specifies and the dead tyre leaves with us. You can have budget, mid range or premium, the price is agreed before anything starts, and a two year warranty comes with them.
When a tyre is finished, the useful question is how quickly you can be legal again. We answer it by bringing the replacement to you in SE5 instead of asking you to drive to it, which matters when the tyre in question is split, shredded or down past the wear bars. Level in Denmark Hill, sloping in Myatt's Fields: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Myatt's Fields or Loughborough Junction is worth flagging. SE5 takes in Loughborough Junction and Walworth, and we work the lot.

Getting a car with a destroyed tyre out of SE5 means the A202 or the slow grind past Camberwell Green, which is neither safe nor quick. A new one is brought to the car instead, balanced and torqued on the spot, warranted for two years and paid for by card.
Something sharp in the road had sliced through the tread and into the belt. That is not a puncture and there is no patch for it. A tyre of the same size went on beside the car's parking bay within the hour.
The tyre had done two miles at almost no pressure before the car was parked. Externally it looked salvageable. Inside, the liner had come apart in strips, which is exactly what running flat does and why it ends the conversation about repairing.
A deep hole in the surface took out front and rear on the same side, which happens more often than people expect. Two tyres were fitted at the kerb in one visit and both old carcasses went away with us.
Read the line moulded into the sidewall, for example 195/65 R15 91H, and pass it on exactly as it appears. That single string tells us everything, and it removes any chance of the wrong tyre arriving.
In most cases, and where we cannot match the exact pattern we will fit something equivalent on the same axle so the car behaves predictably. Mixing very different tyres left and right is not something we would recommend.
It is the same job done with the same kind of equipment, and every wheel we fit gets it. Without balancing you would feel the vibration through the steering within a few miles, so it is not something anyone can quietly skip.
Then you get the cheapest we can supply in your size, and it will still be new and road legal. We will mention where a mid range tyre would repay the difference, once, and then fit whatever you decide on.
Yes, always. Nobody wants a ruined tyre standing in a hallway or a communal bin store, and disposal is included rather than appearing as a surprise on the bill.
