Compare the two ways this ends. One is recovery to a garage, a day without the car and somebody eventually taking a drill or a cutter to the nut, with the wheel taking its chances. The other is a fitter arriving at the kerb in UB6 with the right extraction tools, drawing the nut off cold in a few minutes and leaving a plain replacement on the stud. The second costs less, takes an hour instead of a day, and the alloy is untouched at the end of it. It is not a close-run thing.
The car does not have to move, which is just as well, because usually it cannot. A wheel that will not come off on Greenford Road is not a problem you can drive away from. A Ravenor Park cul-de-sac or a the Westway industrial area main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in the Westway industrial area or a narrow bay on Oldfield Lane is usually workable.

We work right across UB6, from the town centre out to Perivale and up towards Sudbury Hill. None of it requires a workshop, so the car stays on your drive and your day stays yours.
A wheel last touched at a fitting centre came back with the key spinning uselessly. The splines had been mashed by overtightening. The extractor took hold below the damage, wound it out, and the stud thread behind it was still clean.
Bought with no wheel key in it and nobody able to say where one had gone. It only came to light when a slow puncture needed the wheel off. Sorted in a driveway on a weekday morning, and the tyre was repaired the same visit.
Grit and spray thrown off Greenford Road get into the arches and the nut quietly bonds to the stud. This one had gone solid on a car in Ravenor Park. No heat, no drilling, just the right socket and patience.
Rarely. Provided nothing is losing air, the car is fine standing where it is and nothing is getting worse. It turns urgent only when something must be unbolted right now, which we handle at any hour of the night.
It is one way and it is the worst one. Extraction sockets grip the outside of the nut and remove it whole, which leaves the stud and the wheel intact. Get a second opinion before anyone starts drilling.
Almost certainly. Driveways, workplace bays over towards the Westway industrial area, roadside in Greenford Green: all fine. We just need to stand at the wheel.
Not unless you ask for one. A standard nut goes on, tightened correctly, so a plain brace will shift it whenever you want that wheel away.
It adds time rather than difficulty. You will be told what we are looking at before we begin, and it is still one visit with the car staying put.
