One name, two road numbers, which catches people out when they say where they are standing. Finchley Road is the A598 where it passes Frognal, while the A41 runs beside it as Hendon Way, so a cross street is worth adding to any description. Harm here mostly comes off the side roads rather than the main one: sunken gullies, tight turns between parked cars, and the long climb towards Hampstead. Read out the sidewall size with the postcode and the tyre you need is already on the van when it leaves.

What we do in Frognal
Tyre work in Frognal.
What normally happens is a straight replacement, sourced to the marking already on the car, put on and balanced beside it with the old casing removed for disposal. Punctures in the tread are treated from the inner face in line with BS AU 159 rather than plugged through the outside, while one in the shoulder is beyond saving. A burst or badly kerbed tyre is swapped and the rim looked at closely. Locking nuts with no key left are drawn off cleanly. No wheel alignment is offered and nothing part worn is ever fitted.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Frognal
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive or hardstanding in front of the house is the easiest working surface in NW3 and plenty of properties here have one. Where there is not, a permit bay on a level stretch of side road does perfectly well, car parallel to the kerb with the pavement side clear. A garage yard or private forecourt behind a block is better again. Struck off entirely: Finchley Road, the bus stop kerbs on West End Lane, and any bend where a van beside a car would leave nothing for oncoming traffic.
The work sits in the roads between Finchley Road and West End Lane, on the slope rising towards Hampstead, and across the NW3 and NW6 boundary running through the middle of the district. Houses on this side often do have a drive or a hardstanding, and that makes everything easier, while those without fall back on a Camden permit bay with a zone and a number. Space is more of a problem than parking rules: these roads are narrow, they bend, and the van has to stand somewhere it will not stop the street. Nothing at all happens on Finchley Road, busy at every hour with no room to spare. There is no public car park in Frognal. The ULEZ is in force here as across the rest of the capital, though standing still costs a car nothing under it.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Frognal.
After dark the callers here are drivers who have come off Hendon Way with a pressure warning showing and parked in a side street to look at it, plus residents who spot a flat before an early train. The line is staffed overnight. The size gets confirmed from a photograph, and you hear the figure before anyone lifts a wheel.

Frognal FAQs
Questions from Frognal.
Is Frognal in NW3 or NW6?
Both districts run through it, and the boundary follows streets rather than anything you can see on the ground. The postcode on your post is the one to give. With that and a house or bay number a fitter reaches the right end of the right road.
Will the van get down these narrow roads?
Usually, though it is worth saying on the call if your street is a dead end, carries a width restriction or is parked solid on both sides. A van carrying wheels, tools and a balancer needs room to stand beside your car, not merely to squeeze past it.
My car is on a drive off Frognal. Is that better than the street?
Much better. Off the road there is no passing traffic to work around, no bay to pay for and no time limit, so the whole job runs calmer. Give the house number and say whether the drive slopes, since level ground is wanted under a jack.
What if a tyre goes down outside Finchley Road and Frognal station?
Move the car off the main road before anything else, since there is no safe space to stop on it. The residential streets behind the station are quiet enough to work in. Once it is settled, ring with your postcode and the size read off the tyre.
