Tyre trouble in Clerkenwell?

in Clerkenwell.
Clerkenwell tyres are often ruined standing still or crawling. A wheel gets kerbed squeezing into a bay on a street barely wide enough for two cars, or a screw from one of the building sites off Goswell Road goes in at walking pace and the tyre is soft by morning. The car then sits for a day or two before anybody notices. Quote the numbers on the sidewall and the EC1 postcode, and the matching tyre, if stocked, rides out with the fitter.

What we do in Clerkenwell
Tyre work in Clerkenwell.
The work here is a replacement or a repair. Sizes are ordered against the markings on your own sidewall, run-flat and electric car fitments included, and the old carcass leaves in the van. A tread puncture is lifted clear of the rim, inspected internally and patch-plugged where BS AU 159 permits it. A tyre ruined by being driven flat gets swapped, and the rim is looked over properly before the wheel is refitted. Locking nuts with no key come off using the right tools.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Clerkenwell is part of our mobile tyre fitting across Islington, run from the one base at Brent Cross.

Where we work in Clerkenwell
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private basement or a gated yard is the best surface in EC1R, and a building manager who knows a fitter is coming may point at a corner clear of the ramp. Otherwise a resident bay on one of the turnings off Clerkenwell Green does the job, with the car square to the kerb and enough width for somebody to kneel beside it. The Saffron Hill car park, operator allowing, may suit a driveable car. A loading bay is not a working space.
The patch takes in flats in the converted works around Clerkenwell Green, the jewellery trade end towards Hatton Garden, and cars left near Farringdon or Barbican by people who walk the rest. The streets themselves are the constraint: single file, busy with deliveries, and controlled through the working day, so it matters whether the car is holding a resident bay, a metered space or a private basement. Goswell Road carries the A1 straight through and nobody works at that kerb. Clerkenwell falls under the ULEZ and sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, which bears on the journey you choose to make rather than on a parked vehicle under a jack with its wheel off.
We fit tyres in Farringdon and Barbican as well, from the same base and on the same phone line as Clerkenwell.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Clerkenwell.
Night in Clerkenwell is quieter than the working day, and a call might be somebody back late from a job with a tyre going down, or a local resident who discovers a flat before an early start. Nothing has to be moved. Ring 07473 720871 at whatever hour and the tyre, the visit and a sensible estimate of arrival are settled on that call.

Clerkenwell FAQs
Questions from Clerkenwell.
Will the Congestion Charge put anything extra on a tyre fitting in Clerkenwell?
Nothing from it reaches your bill. Clerkenwell lies inside the zone, south of Pentonville Road. The charge falls on a vehicle in motion, so a parked car under the jack collects nothing at all.
Can you work in a basement car park under an office on Clerkenwell Green?
That depends on the building rather than on us. Where the manager or the concierge is content for a wheel to come off in a bay, it is a good surface: level and out of the weather. Ask first, then give the fitter the level and the bay number.
A screw has gone into the tread and the car is sitting in a metered bay off Goswell Road. What happens?
Top the bay up by phone and leave the car alone. The wheel comes off where it stands, the tyre is broken down so the casing can be inspected internally, and a repair follows when the damage lies within the repairable band of the tread.
Is there anywhere in EC1R with room to work if I have no parking of my own?
The Saffron Hill car park may have the space for it, where its operator allows, and it is simple to reach from Farringdon. Tell the fitter which level you are on. A street bay on a quiet turning off Clerkenwell Green is the other answer.
