The A2 is the reason half the tyre damage here exists. East Rochester Way runs past Blendon at trunk road speed, and whatever a tyre collects on it tends to announce itself later, on Blendon Road or outside the house. The other half is slower and duller: a rim scuffed reversing into a driveway, a sidewall pinched against a kerb on Penhill Road. Either way the wheel can be dealt with where the car is parked. Give the size and the postcode when you ring.

What we do in Blendon
Tyre work in Blendon.
Replacements make up most of the Blendon diary. The old sidewall dictates it all, size and load index and speed rating together, so the new cover is an exact stand-in, and the choice runs from budget patterns to premium with run-flat, EV, van, four by four, winter and all-season fitments to hand. Tread punctures are stripped down, examined from the inner face and sealed with a BS AU 159 patch-plug where that standard lets one be used. A blowout gets a fresh tyre and a rim inspection. Locking nuts without keys are extracted. The line runs round the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Blendon
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive at the front of the house, which most of Blendon has, and nothing has to be shuffled about to make room. Failing that, one of the quieter closes off Blendon Road, with the car nosed in so there is room alongside for the fitter to work. A yard at the Old Bexley Business Park suits a van if whoever runs the site is happy to have a wheel come off there. East Rochester Way and the Danson Underpass are both out; neither gives a fitter anywhere safe to stand.
Blendon is a three postcode place: DA5 towards Bexley village, DA6 as you come up to Crook Log, DA15 where it meets Blackfen, and an address here can sit in any of them. That matters more than the street name when the fitter is looking for you. Calls come off Blendon Road and the closes behind it, from Penhill Road and Hurst Road, and from working vehicles at the Old Bexley Business Park. Driveways do nearly all the work here, and with no public parking of its own the only alternative is a residential side road. The one place nobody works is East Rochester Way. Come off at the Black Prince and into the streets first.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Blendon.
Blendon rings late for two reasons. Someone gets in off the A2 with a tyre that has been thumping since Danson and does not fancy driving it again in the morning, or a flat shows up on the drive ahead of an early start. Calls are taken at any point of the night and the cost is put to you then.

Blendon FAQs
Questions from Blendon.
Something went into the tyre on the A2. Where do I stop near Blendon?
Not on East Rochester Way itself. Take the next exit, the Black Prince or Danson, and get into the residential roads off Blendon Road or Penhill Road where the car can sit still. Ring once you are parked and out of the traffic.
Which postcode district is Blendon in?
It depends which end. DA5 covers the Bexley village side, DA6 runs up towards Crook Log and DA15 takes over nearer Blackfen. Give the fitter the full postcode as well as the street, and there is no hunting about for the right door.
Is a repair possible on the drive, or does the tyre have to be replaced?
Often a repair will do. Off comes the wheel, the cover is broken away and studied from the inner liner, and a hole of 6 mm or under lying in the central band, clear of any shoulder and clear of the sidewall, is closed with a BS AU 159 patch-plug.
Can you sort the wheel alignment at the same time?
No, and nothing beyond tyres and wheels. Rescue Tyres is a mobile tyre operation: new tyres, repairs, bursts and locking nuts, with no alignment, no part-worn casings, no batteries and no brake work. If a car pulls after a kerb strike, a garage with a ramp is what you need.
