If you came out this morning to a tyre flat on the drive, that is the lucky version of this and it is worth saying so. A tyre that has gone down while the car stood still has not been damaged by anything except whatever went into it. Nothing has been ground away, the wheel has not been run on and the casing is intact, which means the odds of a proper repair are as good as they ever get. Slow punctures do most of their work overnight, because a tyre cools, the pressure falls and a leak that was barely keeping up during the day finally wins. Finding it on a driveway in Gidea Park or Harold Wood rather than at speed on the A127 is a good outcome, not a bad one.
So the only mistake left to make is to drive it. Leave the car where it stands, do not top it up to get it round to somewhere else, and ring. The fitter comes to the address, takes the tyre off the rim and inspects the casing from the inside, which is the only way to see whether anything has been added since the nail went in. A mend that meets BS AU 159 is permanent. If it cannot be mended, the right size goes on beside the car. We are out around the clock, all year, for cars, SUVs and 4x4s.
Stopped in a supermarket car park with a flat and a boot full of shopping is a specific kind of miserable. The car parks around Romford town centre are on our regular rounds, as it happens. The wheel comes off in Marshalls Park, not on a ramp in Woodford. Nothing is towed out of Gidea Park or Rush Green; the work finishes there. RM1 takes in Rush Green and Harold Wood, and we work the lot.

Between the A12 along the top of the town and the arterial heading east, Romford gives a damaged tyre plenty of chances to be made worse. A driveway does not. If the car has gone soft while parked in Harold Wood or on a street off Whalebone Lane, the best thing you can do is nothing at all until somebody arrives with a machine, because the tyre is currently in the best condition it will ever be in.
A car parked overnight with a screw in it that had been holding up all week. Because it had not turned a wheel since going soft, the tyre came off, got patched properly and went back on with plenty of life left.
A driver had been adding air every morning before setting off. The daily miles were doing the damage the parked nights were not, and the shoulder had already begun to break up by the time anybody looked inside it.
A flat found before an early start, with the temptation to get to the retail park and hope for a bay. Staying put meant the puncture stayed a puncture and the car was ready in time.
It is better. Nothing has been driven on, so the damage is only whatever caused it. Those are the ones that come off the rim looking exactly like they should and go back on repaired.
We would rather you did not. Every mile on a tyre that is losing air adds damage that was not there before, and it turns a mend into a purchase. The van comes to the driveway instead.
The air cools and the pressure drops with it, so a leak that a warm tyre was masking finally shows. It is usually the same leak that has been there for days rather than something new.
No. Plenty of jobs around Gidea Park and Rush Green are done with the owner indoors or at work. We need access to the car and the wheel, not to you.
Then one goes on the same visit rather than another day. Common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes travel with the fitter, and the failed casing is taken away when the job is finished.
