A nail picked up on the A600 or a screw lodged near a Town Centre loading bay does not always mean a new tyre. Many punctures in the central tread area are repairable, and a proper plug-and-patch from the inside is a fraction of the cost of replacing. We come to you across Hitchin, find the leak, and tell you honestly whether it can be saved.
A nail picked up on the A600 or a screw lodged near a Town Centre loading bay does not always mean a new tyre. Many punctures in the central tread area are repairable, and a proper plug-and-patch from the inside is a fraction of the cost of replacing. We come to you across Hitchin, find the leak, and tell you honestly whether it can be saved.
Repairs are carried out to the BS AU 159 standard, which means the tyre comes off the rim, gets inspected inside for hidden damage, and is only fixed if it is genuinely safe to do so. Sidewall damage, or anything too close to the shoulder, cannot be repaired and we will say so rather than bodge it. If it is fixable, you are usually back on the road inside the hour with the wheel rebalanced.
Because we run vans out to Hitchin from London rather than keeping a yard locally, we time puncture call-outs carefully and carry both repair kits and a stock of common sizes on board. That way, if a leak near Walsworth or the Poets Estate turns out to be beyond saving, we can still finish the job in one visit.
The puncture repair situations Hitchin drivers call us out to most:
A slow puncture losing a few PSI overnight; traced to a roofing tack and patched on the driveway.
A van tyre with a nail dead centre in the tread, removed and repaired from the inside in under an hour.
A driver who limped off the dual carriageway on a soft tyre; inspected and found repairable, saving a replacement.
We also attend roadside puncture repair on the main routes through Hitchin, including A602, A505, A600 and more — day and night.
If the object is in the central tread and the sidewall is intact, it usually can be. We inspect inside the tyre before deciding, in line with BS AU 159.
Considerably. A compliant repair costs a small fraction of a replacement, which is why we always check repairability first.
Yes. We submerge or soap the tyre to pinpoint the leak, including tricky valve and bead seepage that is easy to miss.
We will explain why, show you the damage, and fit a replacement there and then if you want one, so you are never left stranded in Hitchin.
Yes. We provide mobile puncture repair right across Hitchin, Hertfordshire including Walsworth, Westmill, Oughton Head, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Hitchin is 30–60 minutes from dispatch, day or night, depending on traffic. We give you a live ETA the moment the van sets off.

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.
