Puncture Repair in Rickmansworth
You can buy a kit that lets you push a sticky string into a tyre from the outside without taking anything apart, and it will hold air.
Mobile puncture repair across Rickmansworth
We find them fairly often, usually in tyres bought second hand or worked on somewhere in a hurry. The problem is that the tyre then cannot be repaired properly, because the area around the string has been enlarged and abraded, so what was a small repairable injury has become a replacement. If you are stuck, a plug is better than being stranded, but it needs replacing with a proper internal repair as soon as possible rather than left in. We do that work at the address, on drives in Croxley Green and Mill End or in the car parks around Moor Park.
The can of sealant in the boot is a way of moving the car, not a repair. Ring us instead and the wheel comes off where the car is, on a driveway in Moor Park or at the kerb, the tyre comes off the rim, and the damage is inspected from the inside. School run in Moor Park or 1am in Maple Cross, we answer the same. Christmas Day in West Hyde, any day in Loudwater: the line is open.

Local knowledge across Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth sits on a mix of fast M25 running at junction 18 and narrow lanes through Loudwater and West Hyde, and the lanes are where most of the sharp debris comes from. The temptation after a puncture out there is a quick fix from a kit in the boot. It will get you home. It should not be the end of the story.
Puncture Repair call-outs we handle in Rickmansworth
A string plug found on removal
Nothing visible from outside beyond a stub of rubber. Inside, the liner is untouched and the hole has been reamed larger than it was, which usually settles the question of repair or replace.
A tyre that held air for months
Holding air is not the same as being sound. The casing around the plug has been abraded and water has had months to work along the channel into the belts.
Used to get home, then done properly
That is the sensible sequence. If a kit got you off a dark lane near Maple Cross, fine, but book the proper repair rather than leaving it in and forgetting about it.

Called at 08:30 with a flat due to a screw in the shoulder. No spare on the car. New tyre sourced and replaced on my driveway by 11:15. What more could I ask for.

Puncture Repair in Rickmansworth, FAQs
They do not meet BS AU 159, which is the standard a repair is expected to satisfy. They are an emergency measure, not a repair, and we would not leave one in a customer's tyre.
Sometimes, if it is dealt with quickly. The reaming that goes with fitting a string enlarges the injury, so leaving it in for months usually removes the option.
It is the airtight skin of the tyre. A repair that does not seal it leaves the casing open to air and to water, which then corrodes the steel belts from inside.
