A tyre found with cord showing outside Queen's Hospital at the end of a shift needs replacing, not patching, ideally before the next shift. The size you give is fitted on the street.
When the tyre is beyond repair the problem changes: it is no longer whether to fix it, but how soon the right size can be on the car. A Queen's Hospital nurse parked on a road near the hospital finds a sidewall split; a driver back from The Brewery retail park sees a tyre torn open by a pothole on the A12. Both need the car for the next shift or the next school pick-up, and nobody wants a week on Havering's dual carriageways on a space-saver.
Send the size, the RM1 or RM7 street and the time the car is needed by, and that tyre is put on the van at Brent Cross. Queen's Hospital's car parks and The Brewery's are private, so unless the site gives permission, have the car on a public road before the fitter arrives. The new tyre is mounted at the kerb, balanced, torqued and inflated, and the remaining three get a look for the same kind of damage. What you are quoted on the call is what you pay.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement and broken tyre replacement in Havering, booked on the same call.

Elm Park drivers whose tyre gives up on Upper Rainham Road or Rainham Road South should turn off into a residential road and stop. Read the size from the sidewall, note a landmark such as Elm Park station or Harrow Lodge Park Car Park, and call us. A replacement tyre is loaded and fitted where you have pulled in.
A tyre that cannot be saved has to be matched exactly: size, load figure, speed symbol and any run-flat stamp, plus a look at the partner on the same axle so the car handles evenly through Gallows Corner. Every Havering caller gets one stock question: will a mid-range tyre in that size do, or only a premium make? The van needs room alongside the car, so a Gidea Park or Harold Wood driveway is ideal, and the Romford ring road is not.
