The A222 changes its name three times crossing Bickley, running as Bickley Park Road, then Bickley Road, then Widmore Road. Rescue Tyres arrives with the tyre already chosen and takes the wheel off wherever the car is standing, on a drive or at a kerb.

Tyre trouble in Bickley?

Bickley runs on long front drives and a station almost nobody has to walk far to reach. Most tyres here fail on the drive rather than on the move: the car comes home off Bromley Common or the B265 at Page Heath Lane, sits overnight, and shows a soft nearside by morning. That is about as simple as this work gets. Read the size off the sidewall, give a BR1 or BR2 postcode, and the right size is on the van before it moves.

What we do in Bickley
Tyre work in Bickley.
Everything needed comes up the drive on the van. The tyre is ordered first against whatever is written on the old sidewall, and the choice spans value brands through to the makes most drivers recognise, covering run-flat, four wheel drive, van, electric and all season fitments. A nail in the tread is dealt with there: wheel off, tyre dismounted, damage examined from within and sealed to BS AU 159 when it falls inside the standard. Locking nuts with no key are drawn out. Alignment needs a ramp, so it is not on offer.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Bickley
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives first, and Bickley has the space for them: room to open both doors, room for the van to stand behind. A shared forecourt at a block of flats works when whoever manages the building is content with it. Bickley station has parking that belongs to the railway, and a job there depends on their say so, which is worth checking before you book. Supermarket bays at the Waitrose or the Budgens are short stay, which makes them a fallback rather than a plan.
Plenty of the calls start in the avenues flanking Bickley Park Road, from the streets climbing towards Southborough and Widmore, and from Bromley Common where the A21 takes over. A front drive is the normal setting and there are plenty of them, which means the car stays put and the jack sits on level block paving rather than a camber. Where a house has no drive, a residential turning off Homesdale Road or Chislehurst Road will do, provided the car has been left on a straight stretch. The A222 itself is not a working surface at any point through the district, and neither is Old Hill. Bickley sits inside Greater London, so ULEZ applies here around the clock, though standing still costs a vehicle nothing.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Bickley.
Two sorts of call come in here after dark. One is a driver home off the A21 who has spotted a tyre going soft and does not fancy the morning. The other is somebody due out before first light. Whatever the hour, a person picks up, and the figure for the visit is settled there and then.

Bickley FAQs
Questions from Bickley.
Is this the Bickley near Bromley?
The one in Bromley, postcodes BR1 and BR2, with its own National Rail station at the heart of it. Other places carry the name further north, and we are not at any of them. Give the postcode when you ring.
Can a puncture be repaired on my own drive in BR1?
A drive is the ideal setting. The wheel is lifted off, the tyre unseated and the inside of it examined, and if the object went through the middle three quarters of the tread leaving a hole of 6 mm or under, a patch and plug repair to BS AU 159 follows.
A van at the Invicta Works has a flat. What do you need to know?
Give the size printed on the sidewall, say which part of the site the van is standing on, and whether it holds air overnight. Damage in the tread within the allowed band gets an internal repair to BS AU 159. A split shoulder or sidewall means a new tyre.
Does the ULEZ reach Bickley?
Greater London is covered in full, this part of Bromley included, with no let-up at night or at weekends. What draws the charge is a non-compliant vehicle actually being driven somewhere. A car sitting still on a drive while a wheel comes off falls outside it.
