Picked up a puncture in Cricklewood? Before you assume the tyre is finished, the fact worth knowing is this: British Standard BS AU 159 permits a safe repair only across the middle three-quarters of the tread, and most nails land squarely in that zone. We come to the car wherever it is sitting, off Cricklewood Broadway, along Chichele Road or on your own street in NW2, and check the damage. A puncture in the repairable area is plugged and patched properly, for a fraction of a new tyre. Sidewall or shoulder damage falls outside the zone and means a replacement, and we tell you straight either way. A slow puncture that has you topping up the air every couple of days is sorted kerbside in well under an hour, around the clock.
The first job is not the repair, it is the verdict. Some punctures can be fixed and some cannot, and you get a straight answer either way before anything is charged for. Where the damage sits in the repairable part of the tread and the casing is sound, a repair to British Standard BS AU 159 is legal, safe and far and away the cheaper way out of it. That work happens where the car is, on Cricklewood Broadway or on a driveway in Cricklewood Broadway, with the wheel off, the tyre inspected from the inside and a proper plug-patch fitted rather than a can of foam. If the damage is in the sidewall or the shoulder we will tell you so and fit a replacement instead. Either way you are not driving around NW2 to find out.

The busy A5 Broadway through Cricklewood sees plenty of debris that ends in tyres, and a slow puncture left unchecked can strand you. Drive on a soft tyre and you ruin it, turning a cheap repair into a costly replacement. We carry everything to seal a puncture on the roadside, so a sound tyre stays in service.
The puncture repair situations Cricklewood drivers call us out to most:
A commuter found a screw in the tread after parking on the Broadway. It sat in the repairable zone, so we patched it and kept the tyre.
A driver had been pumping the same tyre all week. We found a fine nail, drew it out and sealed the hole to standard at the roadside.
A driver came back to a flat near the A5 Broadway. The puncture was in the tread, so they were moving again within forty minutes.
We also attend roadside puncture repair on the main routes through Cricklewood, including A5 Cricklewood Broadway, North Circular (A406), A407 Cricklewood Lane and more, day and night.
BS AU 159 sets the method for safe, permanent tyre repairs and limits them to the central tread zone.
We will. A single puncture is worth a call, and we fix it where the car is parked rather than have you drive on it.
Considerably. A plug-and-patch costs a small fraction of a replacement, so checking first is always worth it.
Yes. Home, kerbside or a workplace car park in NW2 are all fine, wherever the car is sitting.
In most cases, yes. The fitter needs firm ground and enough room to jack the car and swing the wheel clear, which most kerbs and driveways around Childs Hill (NW2) give. If you are boxed in, on a steep camber or in a narrow bay, say so on the phone and we will agree a safer spot a few metres away before setting off.
A41 Hendon Way is one of the Cricklewood routes we attend day and night, so it sits inside our usual 30 to 60 minute arrival across Greater London. After that it is down to traffic. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or turning off A5 Cricklewood Broadway, and the fitter finds you first time.
We inspect before we commit. A repair only goes ahead where it is legal and safe under British Standard BS AU 159, and the work is DVSA-compliant. If the damage sits outside that, we tell you straight and fit a replacement from on-board stock there and then, whether you are on North Circular (A406) or on your own driveway.

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.
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.
