Colney Heath sits between the A414 North Orbital Road and the two A1001 carriageways, with the Roestock Roundabout on its doorstep and no railway of its own. The right tyre rides out with the Rescue Tyres van and goes on at the address.

Tyre trouble in Colney Heath?

Most tyre trouble in this village arrives off a trunk road. The A414 and the A1001 at Roehyde Way and South Way throw up the nails and the kerbed rims, and a wheel clouted on the Roestock Roundabout usually gets you home before it gives up. Sleapshyde, Smallford and Tyttenhanger supply the remainder. Quote the size from the sidewall, give an AL4 or AL10 postcode, and the matching tyre travels on the van.

What we do in Colney Heath
Tyre work in Colney Heath.
Four jobs cover most of what happens here. Replacing a tyre, sized off what is stamped into the sidewall and ordered while you are still on the phone. Pulling a nail or a screw out of a tread, lifting the tyre off its wheel and mending it from within, assuming the damage sits where BS AU 159 allows. Fitting a new tyre after one has torn open on the A414, the wheel checked before anything is refitted. And winding off a locking nut after its key has disappeared. Somebody mans the phone seven days, through the night as well.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Colney Heath
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway or a hard standing at the address is the normal answer here and nothing else is needed. Yards at Smallford Works and on the Travellers Lane estate suit a van, provided whoever runs the gate knows to let one in. Colney Fields Shopping Park has a broad surface car park that serves a driveable car well, though those bays are the centre's ground and staying with the vehicle keeps everybody happy. Narrow lane verges towards Sleapshyde are useless, since a jack wants firm, level ground under it.
The village street accounts for a good share of the calls, with the lanes out to Sleapshyde and Tyttenhanger behind it and working vehicles at Smallford Works, Travellers Lane Industrial Estate and Riverside Industrial Estate behind that. Off-road space is the saving grace here: almost every address keeps its cars on a drive or a hard standing, which means the vehicle need not budge and a fitter simply works round it. Trouble comes at the lane edges, where soft verge and a blind bend leave nowhere to stand a jack. Postcodes split between AL4 and AL10, the boundary running through the middle of the parish, so the postcode settles which end of the village a van heads for. Hertfordshire levies no clean air charge and the ULEZ begins a long way south.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Colney Heath.
Two things bring the phone out of hours in Colney Heath: a driver back off the A414 who spots a tyre sagging on the drive, and an early start at one of the Travellers Lane units that cannot wait for a tyre shop to open. Somebody is on the line overnight, and the total for the job is confirmed before a van moves.

Colney Heath FAQs
Questions from Colney Heath.
Is Colney Heath covered, or does the round stop at London Colney?
Colney Heath, Roestock, Sleapshyde and Smallford are all on the round, and so are the lanes out towards Tyttenhanger and Water End. The van comes up from Brent Cross in north London. Ring or WhatsApp 07473 720871 and you will be told when it can be with you.
Can a tyre be changed at Colney Fields Shopping Park?
The surface car park there has space enough for a jack to go under a car, and it is simple to find off the A414. Park clear of the entrance aisles, stay with the vehicle, and say which row you are in when you ring.
There is a screw in a van tyre on Travellers Lane Industrial Estate. Can it be mended?
That depends where the screw went in. A hole through the crown of the tread, inside the size limit, is mended from within and the wheel returns balanced. Once the harm is out in the shoulder, or in the sidewall, no repair is allowed.
Does the village have a clean air charge of any kind?
None applies here. Colney Heath is in Hertfordshire, well north of the Greater London boundary, so nothing is charged daily for a car parked in the village or driven round it. The ULEZ only starts once you are into the London boroughs.
