The hardest part of a flat around here is often not the car at all, it is the feeling that you are in everybody's way. Rye Lane and Peckham High Street do not leave much room for a stopped vehicle, and if there are children in the back or shopping in the boot the pressure to just get going again is real. Take that pressure off yourself. The car is allowed to sit there. It is not going to be damaged further by standing still, and neither the tyre nor the traffic is a reason to make a decision you would not make calmly.
So the wait has a shape to it, and it is a short one. You ring, you describe where the car is, you read out the numbers moulded into the tyre wall if you can get to them, and a van is with you in 30 to 60 minutes as a rule. Everything after that is the fitter's problem. If you have passengers, get them out on the pavement side and somewhere they can sit down, because standing on a kerb in SE15 for half an hour with a toddler is nobody's idea of a good afternoon. If it is raining, stay in the car with the hazards on unless traffic is passing close. We are out 24 hours a day, all year, for cars, SUVs and 4x4s.
Topping it up at a petrol station every few days is not a fix, it is a countdown. So it is worth ringing while it is still a small problem: we come to the car in SE15, take the wheel off and find the leak properly. The wheel comes off in Bellenden, not on a ramp in East Dulwich. Nothing is towed out of Queens Road or Nunhead; the work finishes there.

SE15 does not give a stopped car much sympathy, and that is exactly why people here drive on flats they should have left alone. The traffic on Rye Lane will get past you. A tyre that has been driven on will not get repaired. The High Street, a bay near Queens Road, a driveway in Nunhead: wherever it came to rest is where the work happens, and the ruined casing leaves with us.
A parent stopped with a soft tyre and two small passengers. The advice was to get everybody onto the pavement and into a doorway out of the wind. The tyre was repaired at the kerb and the afternoon carried on.
A driver could not get out of a bay with the tyre down and felt they were causing an obstruction. They were not, and moving would have cost them the tyre. It was patched exactly where it stood.
A flat found after a shop, with frozen food in the back. The fitter arrived within the hour and the wheel was off, mended and back on quickly enough that nothing thawed.
Nine times out of ten you are less of a problem than you think, and moving on a flat is what turns a repair into a bill. If you are genuinely in a live lane, roll clear at walking pace to the first legal space and stop there.
Usually 30 to 60 minutes before the van arrives, then a short while for the work itself. You get an honest time when you ring rather than an optimistic one, and a call if anything changes.
Get them out on the pavement side and somewhere sheltered if you can, well back from the traffic. Take your keys and phone. There is nothing to watch and nothing you need to be next to the car for.
Yes. Give the nearest shop or the junction you are closest to and describe the car. Peckham High Street is a road our fitters run daily and they will not need much.
No. Whatever is decided happens at the roadside. A repairable puncture is done to BS AU 159 there and then, and a tyre that cannot be saved is replaced from stock on the van.
