Old Street is built around the roundabout where City Road meets the A501, the heart of the tech district everyone still calls Silicon Roundabout. A flat amid that traffic is the last thing you want, so Fast Tyre comes to you.
Old Street sits on the boundary between the City and Islington, gathered around the roundabout that the tech crowd long ago nicknamed Silicon Roundabout. The streets here are a mix of converted warehouses, glass office blocks and older estates around St Luke's and Bunhill, and the traffic almost never settles. City Road and the A501 push a constant stream of buses, taxis and delivery vans through the junction, and that is hard on tyres: kerbed alloys in tight permit bays, potholes worn into the heavily used approaches, and screws and nails picked up where building work and deliveries never stop.
The layout makes a tyre problem worse. The roundabout is no place to change a wheel, the surrounding side streets off Featherstone Street and Goswell Road are resident permit only and packed by morning, and stopping on the A501 is simply not an option. A puncture here turns quickly into a hunt for anywhere safe to deal with it.
Fast Tyre runs out to Old Street from our Sydney Road base in Muswell Hill, fitting your tyre wherever you happen to be: an office car park off City Road, a permit bay in St Luke's, or pulled in away from the roundabout. We work 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and we are usually with you in 30 to 60 minutes to sort it on the spot.
Old Street drivers know the roundabout is no place to be stuck and the side streets give you nowhere to work. The permit bays are full by morning, the A501 offers nowhere to stop, and the office blocks swallow what little kerbside space there is. Limping to a garage through the EC1V traffic, then trying to park, is a waste of a working day. A local fitter who knows the streets around Silicon Roundabout and comes straight to your bay takes the journey out of it entirely.
The situations we get called out to most often across Old Street:
The roundabout itself is a swirl of buses, bikes and turning vans with nowhere safe to stop. If a tyre goes here, work your way off onto a quieter side street, tell us exactly where you have pulled in, and we will come straight to you.
City Road carries non-stop delivery and bus traffic, so debris in the gutter makes slow punctures a regular complaint. We will meet you at your office, a permit bay nearby or wherever you have parked and deal with it before the tyre goes fully flat.
The tight resident bays around St Luke's and Featherstone Street are an easy place to scuff an alloy or bruise a sidewall. If you have clipped a kerb squeezing in, we will come to the car where it sits and check the tyre on the spot.
Our mobile units reach every part of Old Street and the surrounding Greater London area, including:
We attend roadside tyre emergencies on the main routes in and around Old Street, 24 hours a day:
We fit tyres for cars, vans, motorcycles, 4x4s and caravans, carrying premium names like Michelin and Continental alongside dependable mid-range and budget lines in the sizes Old Street drivers actually run. The van carries everything for the job, including locking wheel nut removal and a TPMS reset, so the car never needs to move from its bay. Payment is by card or contactless on site once the work is finished.
We are a fully mobile service covering Old Street and Greater London. Tell us your location when you call and a unit will be sent to you.

From our Muswell Hill base we run down toward Old Street, and typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes. We give you an honest time when you call rather than leaving you guessing.
We do not work in the live roundabout for safety, but if you can ease off onto a side street or into a nearby bay, tell us exactly where you are and we will come to you there.
Yes. We regularly fit on resident permit streets around St Luke's and City Road. As long as we can reach the wheels, you do not need to move the car or find a different space.
We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A flat found after a late finish in the office or a blowout in the small hours on City Road is no problem, we run nights exactly the same as days.
Often yes. If a nail has gone into the central tread and the sidewall is undamaged, a proper repair is usually possible. We will inspect it on arrival and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the safe option.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
