Mobile tyre fitting
in Creekmouth.

A fitter at your car
in Creekmouth.

Almost everything that goes flat around Creekmouth is a working vehicle. Tipper wheels, van tyres and trailer covers collect steel and glass on the yard approaches and on the pull up to the A13, and the damage often shows itself when the vehicle is cold first thing. Housing is scarce and addresses fall into IG11 or E6 depending which side of the boundary they land. Give the size, the plate and the gate to come to, and the tyre arrives with the fitter.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Hard standing inside a yard is the surface to aim for, and the bulk of Creekmouth work happens on one. The fitter wants the vehicle away from reversing lorries and a gate that opens for a van. Verges and unmade edges along the access roads are useless, since a jack sinks and no wheel can be trusted on soft ground. Nor is the carriageway of anything here, given the size of what uses it. A car with no other option can be met on a shopping park bay.

This is a district of yards, works entrances and long straight access roads with heavy stuff running on them. Calls come from operators along the riverside, from the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works side, and from Lyon Business Park a little to the north. A yard is the ideal surface, level and hard and away from moving traffic, so long as the gatehouse expects a service van. There are no permit bays and no public car park in Creekmouth itself, so anyone without a yard is better meeting at Gallions Reach Shopping Park, which is a drive away. Alfred's Way above the district is never an option. Barking Riverside and Thames View are the closest residential streets. ULEZ covers all of it, at no cost to a vehicle standing still.
