Gallows Corner is a junction before it is a neighbourhood: the A12 Colchester Road, the A127 flyover and the A118 Main Road all pile into the same piece of ground. Rescue Tyres works well back from it, on the streets behind.

Tyre trouble in Gallows Corner?

Damage taken at Gallows Corner is rarely dealt with at Gallows Corner. Something picked up on Colchester Road or on the Southend Arterial Road announces itself half a mile later, on Main Road or in a turning towards Harold Wood, which is where the wheel ends up coming off. Nothing useful happens on a trunk road with traffic feeding off a flyover. Park the car properly first, then ring with the street name and the RM3 or RM2 postcode and the fitter brings the right cover to it.

What we do in Gallows Corner
Tyre work in Gallows Corner.
What comes through the door at this junction is blunt damage: kerbed sidewalls, casings destroyed by a low-pressure run at speed, and the odd wheel that needs looking over before anything is refitted. Replacements are matched to the size on the car and carried out to it. Where the damage turns out to be a nail in the central tread and the casing still holds pressure, a repair to BS AU 159 is the better outcome. Locking nuts without keys are removed as part of the job, at any hour of the day.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Gallows Corner
Drives, bays and car parks.
The usable surfaces near this junction are all residential. A drive is best, an unrestricted kerb on a side road is fine, and a firm level yard suits a van. Everything belonging to the junction itself is ruled out: the flyover and its approaches, the slip roads either side, the trunk carriageways and any painted hatching. A fitter will not set a jack down where traffic is joining or leaving at speed, so the first task is always getting the vehicle to a street with houses on it.
This is as busy as ground gets around here, and the least suitable place for working on a car. Eastern Avenue East, Colchester Road and the Southend Arterial Road converge with the flyover overhead, and none of it offers a safe place to lift a vehicle. The retail park parking at Gallows Corner is private land, so a bay there rests on the operator agreeing, and the same is true of the Harold Wood Station car park and the Gidea Park Station Car Park nearby. What does work is the residential grid a short distance off: turnings from Main Road towards Ardleigh Green, streets on the Harold Wood side, and driveways in either. Get the car onto one of those and the job becomes ordinary.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Gallows Corner.
This junction never really stops, and neither does the tyre work around it. Late calls come from drivers who have left the A127 or the A12 on a limping tyre and pulled into a lit residential road nearby. Tell the operator exactly which street you reached, whether the wheel is on the rim, and someone comes out to the car there.

Gallows Corner FAQs
Questions from Gallows Corner.
My tyre blew on the Gallows Corner flyover. What should I do?
Slow down, hold a steady line and take the first exit off. The flyover and the Southend Arterial Road offer nowhere to stand, so keep going until you reach a residential street on the Ardleigh Green or Harold Wood side, then park up and call with the road name.
Can you fit a tyre in the retail park car park at Gallows Corner?
That car park is private land belonging to the operator, so a wheel change there is only possible if they agree to it. Most people find it simpler to carry on to a side street off Main Road, where nobody needs asking and the ground is level.
Which streets near Gallows Corner do you actually work on?
Residential turnings within a short drive of the junction: roads towards Ardleigh Green, roads on the Harold Wood side, and driveways in either of them. Give the street name and the postcode, RM3 or RM2, and the fitter parks behind your car there.
Do you cover Gallows Corner through the night?
The service runs at every hour of the day and every day of the week, which suits a junction carrying traffic all night. Get the car off the trunk roads and onto a lit street first. Then call, name the road, give the numbers from the sidewall, and the cover comes out with the fitter.
