A tyre found flat on a permit street off Lavender Hill or Battersea Rise stays where it is: in Wandsworth the fitter comes to the Clapham Junction bay and rules on repair or replacement there and then.
The terraces between Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common are where a morning can start with a flat: a slow puncture from something picked up on Battersea Rise, a valve gone, a tyre pushed off its seat by a kerb. Rolling it down Lavender Hill to look for a garage grinds the sidewall on the rim and, with the A3 and the South Circular the only ways out, adds a red route with nowhere legal to stop.
Ring 07473 720871 with the street and a description: flat to the rim or merely low, any nail visible, whether it has moved. Compressor, repair kit and common sizes travel on the van, so the wheel comes off in the bay, the inside gets inspected and the decision is made there: a patch-plug to BS AU 159 if the injury qualifies, a replacement tyre if not. Whichever it is, you know the price before a tool is picked up.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Wandsworth page
Flat on Battersea Rise or East Hill? Turn into the nearest legal side street rather than stopping in a traffic lane, switch the hazards on and step out on the pavement side. From around Wandsworth Common station or the roads off North Side Wandsworth Common, send us the postcode and the tyre size, and we guide the next step.
Discovered a flat on an Earlsfield street? First check the other three by eye and hand, then examine the flat one: a nail in the tread, a torn or leaking valve, or a kerb scrape on the wall. Pumping it up for a crawl down Garratt Lane to a garage is a poor bet; hours flat on an Earlsfield street can crease the inner wall, which then gives way again. A space-saver is a short, low-speed spare only. Leave the car in its SW18 bay and message us.
