This is a booked job, not a rescue. Nine times out of ten the car is perfectly fine, sitting on a residents' bay off Graham Road, and the only thing wrong is that one nut on one wheel will not come undone. Nothing gets worse while it waits. What it does do is hold up everything else you were trying to arrange, because no tyre can be changed, no brake can be inspected and no MOT can be signed off on a wheel that stays bolted to the hub.
The causes are dull and predictable: a key that left with the previous owner, a pattern rounded off by somebody's air gun, or corrosion after enough winters parked on the same stretch of E8. Extraction tools take all three off cold, and a plain nut goes back on so it never happens twice.
The nut in the glovebox is not always the right nut. Cars change hands, wheels get swapped, and a key that visibly does not seat properly is a key that will round the pattern the first time real force goes through it. On a driveway in Hackney Central, in a work car park or at the kerb. Valve in Clapton, balance in Shoreditch, pressures before we go. The wheel comes off in Dalston, not on a ramp in Islington.

We cover E8 and the streets around it, from Dalston across to Clapton and down towards Shoreditch. Since the job is done at the kerb, your bay stays yours, and you avoid a trip through the ULEZ and the bus gates simply to have one nut removed.
A car bought privately in Walthamstow came with everything except the wheel key, which only mattered once a tyre needed changing. We cleared the nut on a side street near Hackney Central and the tyre went on the same afternoon.
The key slid on and spun freely because the splines had been flattened by overtightening somewhere else. We gripped what was left of the collar, backed it off gently, and gave the exposed thread a look before anything new went near it.
A nut that had never been off since the car was new had bonded to the stud. No drilling and no heat, just the right socket, a bit of time and a replacement nut left behind.
Usually not. With all four holding pressure the car is fine sitting where it is, so pick a slot that suits you. It becomes an emergency only if a flat forces the issue, and that we will come out for whatever the hour.
The pattern has been rounded, nearly always by an air gun run far too hard. With the splines flattened the key simply slips, which is precisely the job an extraction socket exists to do.
No. The socket works on the nut and clears the wheel face entirely. That is the difference between this and somebody attacking it with a chisel.
Where you park. A bay off Mare Street, a spot near London Fields, a workplace car park in Shoreditch: all workable. All we need is space to work at that corner of the car without standing in the cycle lane.
There is more than one approach and we carry the alternatives. If the stud itself has already been damaged by somebody else you will be told plainly rather than watching us make it worse.
