Cassiobury is the western side of Watford, wrapped by the A411 at Hempstead Road and The Avenue, with Watford Junction barely a third of a mile off. Rescue Tyres loads the right tyre, drives out and deals with the wheel there.

Most of what goes wrong in Cassiobury is collected on the A411, which answers to Beechen Grove, Exchange Road, Hyde Road and Hempstead Road within about a mile. Rickmansworth Road brings the A412 in from the other side. A tyre that takes a screw on any of them usually holds air long enough to reach the house, then sits down flat on a WD17 driveway by morning. Quote the sidewall size and name the road, and the van leaves loaded correctly.

What we do in Cassiobury
Tyre work in Cassiobury.
Sizes are ordered against what is already on the vehicle: the width, profile, rim and speed marking read straight off the sidewall. Where a screw or nail has gone into the tread, the tyre is parted from its rim so the lining can be read, and a BS AU 159 repair follows if the injury is inside the permitted area. Tyres that have come apart are not repairable, so those are swapped, with the rim examined for damage as it happens. A lost locking key is answered with an extractor rather than force. All of it happens at the address.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Cassiobury
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is the first choice and plenty of Cassiobury houses have one. Failing that, a permit bay will do, as long as there is clearance beside the wheel being changed and the car has not stopped on a bend. Avenue Car Park, Gade Car Park, Sutton Road Car Park and Church Car Park are all public and all within reach of the centre, which answers for a car still able to drive there. The Watford Junction car parks belong to the railway, so ask the operator before you count on one.
Calls come from the long residential streets off Hempstead Road and Rickmansworth Road, from the streets around Exchange Road and Beechen Grove, and from people whose car has stood near Watford Junction since the morning train. WD17 and WD18 divide the area between them, and that pair of postcodes tells the fitter more than a street name, because several roads here run through both. Anything with its own drive is straightforward. Controlled bays and residents' permits cover a great deal of the ground nearer the centre, so mention which the car occupies: a permit bay, a meter bay or private tarmac. The A411 will not do for lifting a car, and Vicarage Road is best avoided on a match day, when the streets round it close.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Cassiobury.
Two sorts of caller ring this part of Watford late. One has come off a train at the Junction and found the car down on its rim at the kerb. The other works shifts at Watford General and sees the flat on the way out. Either way a person answers, the size is taken down, and the cost is settled before anybody leaves Brent Cross.

Cassiobury FAQs
Questions from Cassiobury.
Is a permit bay in WD17 any use for a tyre change?
A residents' bay is workable so long as you are with the car and the wheel coming off is not against the flow of traffic. Cassiobury has a lot of controlled parking near the centre, so tell the fitter the bay type and the nearest junction when you book.
Is Cassiobury inside any clean air charging zone?
Watford lies outside every charging scheme, so there is nothing to pay. The London ULEZ only starts at the Greater London boundary well to the south. And a vehicle that is stationary on its jack is not in use on a road, which puts it beyond any charge in the first place.
I have left the car near Watford Junction. Where can the fitter meet me?
Station parking there is the railway operator's ground, so it depends on them being content with a van working in a bay. A public car park such as Gade Car Park or Sutton Road Car Park is simpler, and a residential street back towards Hempstead Road is simpler still.
Can a puncture be mended rather than the tyre replaced?
Position decides it. A hole in the central band of tread, measuring 6 mm or less, takes a patch-plug worked in from within the casing under BS AU 159. Once the damage reaches the shoulder or the sidewall, or the casing has been ruined by driving on it, only a new tyre will do.
