If there are children in the car, deal with them before you deal with the tyre. On a road like Cambridge Heath Road or Bethnal Green Road, with buses and delivery vans passing close, everybody comes out on the pavement side and waits together well back from the vehicle. If it is cold or wet and the road is genuinely quiet, staying belted in is reasonable, but not on a main road and not in a car sitting half in a live lane. Nothing about the tyre is urgent enough to be worth standing in the road for. It will still be flat in five minutes, and so will we, on our way.
After that the whole thing is much calmer than it feels. You are not being towed, the car is not being taken anywhere, and you have not done anything wrong. The screws that cause most of these calls come off the gutters and the market deliveries around Roman Road and are nobody's fault. Ring us, give us the street and the nearest corner, and wait. E2 is dense enough that finding somewhere legal to leave a car is a genuine relief, so if you are already in a permit bay off Globe Town, that is where the job happens. The car does not move, the space stays yours, and the school run gets rescued rather than ruined.
Flat on the drive in the morning is the commonest call we get. The car was fine last night, and now one corner is sitting down on itself outside the house in Globe Town with somewhere to be in forty minutes. Old tyres leave Shoreditch, the Columbia Road area and E2 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Roman Road, or at the kerb in Globe Town. The E2 postcode and a street in Cambridge Heath: that is enough.

Bethnal Green is four busy through-roads with a very tight grid of streets and estates packed between them, which leaves almost nowhere to deal with a flat under your own steam. Bethnal Green Road and Cambridge Heath Road stay solid with buses and vans, Hackney Road backs up towards Shoreditch at the slightest hold-up, and the one-way sections near the town centre box a struggling car in completely. Standing clear, staying put and letting a van come to the kerb is the only version of this that ends with the tyre repairable and everybody where they should be.
The first thing sorted was where everybody stood, which was on the pavement well back from the car. The tyre came second, as it should. The whole family waited out of the traffic and the wheel took twenty minutes.
A tight bay, stalls out, and a tyre flat to the rim. Nothing needed to be moved and nobody had to negotiate with the traffic. We worked from the road side and the stall holders never noticed.
The rough patches under the arches turn up more of these than anywhere else in E2. Found in a yard rather than at speed, which is the good version, and dealt with before the pressure had dropped far.
On the pavement with you, well back from the car, if you are anywhere near moving traffic. On a quiet side street off Columbia Road it is fine to stay in the vehicle. On Hackney Road it is not.
No. The van brings the tyre to the car, so nothing gets towed and nobody has to arrange a lift home afterwards. It is one visit and the problem is closed.
Only as far as it takes to stop being in the way, and slowly. Every hundred yards on a flat tyre eats into the chance of repairing it, and Bethnal Green Road at delivery time will cost you more yards than you expect.
Yes, and it makes no difference to the job. We work beside the car in the bay it is already in, so you do not lose the space you queued round the block for.
Typical arrival across E2 is 30 to 60 minutes and the fitting is quick once we are there. Tell us on the phone if you are up against a time and we will give you an honest answer rather than a comforting one.
