One corner down to the rim outside a Manor Park terrace or on level three at Westfield. Leave it alone, send the street or car park and the sidewall size, and mend or replace is sorted at the car.
Newham flats wait for you in the morning or after the shops. The car sat overnight in an Upton Park permit bay with a bolt from the A13 in the tread, or spent the afternoon in Westfield's multi-storey while a slow puncture did its work. One can also turn up in the staff car parks at London City Airport and ExCeL at the end of a shift. Driving any of them, even down Green Street to a garage, wrecks the tyre and risks the rim.
Ring with the address, the E postcode and how the car is parked, since a permit bay in Forest Gate, a Westfield level and a Silvertown yard each need a different approach. The sidewall size lets a matching tyre ride along in case the flat is beyond repair. On arrival the car is jacked where it stands, the wheel removed and the cause found: a repairable puncture, a failed valve, a leaking rim or a tyre past saving. You agree the cost first, whichever it is.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Newham as well.
Where the car sits, if that is a permit bay, an estate or works car park, the Westfield or Olympic Park car parks or an airport staff car park, with the site's permission, with access arranged. A flat on the A13, A12 or Romford Road must be moved off first.
A flat on Woodgrange Road (A114) or Upton Lane (A114) is best handled by turning off into a residential street near Forest Gate station, hazards on and the car fully out of the traffic. Note the road and the nearest shop, then call. Wait on the pavement side away from the car, and do not try to drive on to a garage.
Worth knowing
Found it flat?
Found flat on a Maryland or West Ham street? Press each remaining tyre for softness, then eye the tread for nails, the valve stem for splits and the sidewall for an E7 kerb scrape. Driving it to a garage along Romford Road ruins the casing and usually rules out a repair. Space-savers suit brief, gentle trips off a busy road, not daily use. Leave the car in its E7 or E15 permit bay, or on a drive, and ring.

Newham FAQs
Your flat tyre help questions, answered for Newham
My car is flat in the Westfield Stratford car park. Can it be sorted there?
It can be, provided you hang on to your ticket and the operator agrees. Give the level and roughly where the bay is, clear of the ramps. Whether it ends up as a repair or a new tyre is decided once the wheel is off, and nothing is charged until you have agreed.
Is it safe to use the sealant kit in my car before you reach East Ham?
Better not. Sealant smears itself across the liner and makes a proper BS AU 159 repair much harder, so a tyre that could have been patched in your East Ham bay often has to be replaced instead. Leave the kit in the boot and let the fitter look first.
My car is flat at Newham University Hospital in Plaistow. Can you come there?
Newham University Hospital's car park works if its operator lets a tyre van pull in next to you; the fitter then looks at the damage in Plaistow and chooses repair or replacement. Tell us the car park, the bay and whether you are visiting or working there.
