Half Moon Lane, Dulwich Road, Norwood Road and Herne Hill all run into the same corner beside the station, and none of them is anywhere to change a wheel. Rescue Tyres works from the side streets instead, at whichever kerb your car is on.

Tyre trouble in Herne Hill?

SE24 is terraces, and terraces mean permit bays, so the great majority of Herne Hill calls concern a car that cannot move and does not need to. A screw picked up somewhere along Dulwich Road shows up as a soft tyre two days later on Dalberg Road or Brixton Water Lane, with nowhere obvious to take it. The van arrives at the bay carrying the right tyre, and the wheel comes off there.

What we do in Herne Hill
Tyre work in Herne Hill.
What gets asked for in SE24, in rough order: a puncture repair to BS AU 159 where the injury is no bigger than 6 mm and lies in the repairable middle band of the tread; one replacement tyre matched to its partner on the same axle; a pair when the tread has gone on both; and a locking wheel nut taken off when its key vanished with a previous owner. Burst tyres and kerb damage are treated as emergency work at any hour, with the rim checked before fitting.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Herne Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
The realistic surfaces here are resident bays, the odd short stretch of unrestricted kerb on a quieter turning, and the few properties towards East Dulwich Grove that still have a hardstanding at the front. The fitter needs roughly a car's width on the flat side, so a tightly packed bay can mean rolling forward or back a little. Single and double yellows near the junction are no use, and shared parking behind converted houses depends on whoever manages it agreeing.
The heaviest call volume is the grid between Half Moon Lane and Dulwich Road, where almost nothing has a drive and every bay is controlled. Work there is done in the bay the car already holds, with the permit displayed or the pay-by-phone session left running. North Dulwich station sits within a few streets and Herne Hill station a little further, both useful when a commuter's car is nearer the platform than the house. Denmark Hill pulls traffic through on the A215 and Dog Kennel Hill carries the A2216 towards East Dulwich, so a tyre that fails on the move needs a turning off those before anybody looks at it. SE24 is inside the ULEZ, which costs a stationary car nothing.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Herne Hill.
The after-hours calls come from people who parked up late on Dalberg Road and spotted a flat under the street lighting, and from shift workers heading for Denmark Hill. Somebody picks up the phone in the small hours just as they would mid-afternoon, on any day of the week.

Herne Hill FAQs
Questions from Herne Hill.
Can you change a tyre in a permit bay on Dalberg Road?
A permit bay is where most SE24 work happens. Leave the car in its own bay with the permit displayed and the fitter works around it. Only a suspended bay or a stretch of yellow line is a problem, in which case we find the nearest legal spot together.
How does a flat on Half Moon Lane get dealt with?
Half Moon Lane is busy enough that stopping in the running lane is a poor idea. Turn into one of the residential roads on either side, park properly, and call 07473 720871. The fitter meets you there rather than at the junction itself.
Do you replace tyres for cars parked near Herne Hill station?
Cars left near the station all day are a regular part of the work. Give the road and the registration when you ring, make sure the parking remains valid while the job runs, and the wheel is swapped where the car stands.
What happens if my tyre has run flat all the way home?
Running a tyre flat wrecks the inner lining even when the tread still looks respectable, so a repair is off the table and a replacement goes on instead. The fitter will show you the inside of the old casing before it goes in the van.
