Say Hemel Hempstead and HP2 when you ring, because the name on its own could put a van in half a dozen counties. Once that is clear the job is plain enough. The A4147 skirts this side of town as Link Road and Swallowdale Lane, and what it throws up is usually a screw that goes unnoticed until the car is cold on the drive. The markings round the edge of the tyre tell the fitter what to bring, so pass them on with the postcode.

What we do in Highfield
Tyre work in Highfield.
What gets done in HP2 is mostly quiet work. A tread puncture is mended properly: the cover is lifted off its rim so the inside can be examined, and if the hole sits in the central band and is small enough it takes a bonded seal to BS AU 159 in place of a plug shoved in from the road side. Anything at the shoulder, or a casing distorted by a kerb, is replaced like for like. Where the locking key has been lost, a biting socket takes the nut off instead. Calls are taken at any hour.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Highfield
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways first: private, level, and the car has already stopped on one. An unrestricted kerb on a residential turning comes next, the car left square and the fitter alongside it on the paving. Queensway Car Park and Gadebridge Lane are open surface parking, and both leave room to swing a jack. What Highfield has not got is estate hardstanding of its own; that lies down at Maylands, and anything behind a private gate needs the operator to say so before a van turns up.
Work here comes from the residential streets between Queensway and Link Road, from the addresses shading into Grovehill and Cupid Green, and from people who live in HP2 but collected the damage on Maylands Avenue. Houses on this rim of the town generally have a drive or an unrestricted length of kerb outside, and that is where the great majority of jobs are done, with the car standing as it was left. Public parking sits in the town centre rather than here: Queensway Car Park, The Gables and Gadebridge Lane are sensible meeting points for a car that will take a short drive. The A4147 itself, and the A4146 Leighton Buzzard Road, are moving roads with nothing beside them to work in.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Highfield.
The overnight ones tend to be domestic: a car wanted early, a tyre that was fine yesterday, and nobody willing to wait on a morning appointment. There is a voice on the line at four in the morning as readily as at four in the afternoon, and what cover and callout come to is agreed before a van moves.

Highfield FAQs
Questions from Highfield.
Which Highfield is this page about?
The one in Hemel Hempstead, HP2, sitting between Grovehill, Cupid Green and the Old Town, with Link Road and Swallowdale Lane carrying the A4147 round it. The name is shared with places elsewhere, so a postcode on the call settles where the van is headed.
Can the fitter come while the car sits on a Highfield driveway and nobody is home?
A car on a drive can be seen to with its owner out, so long as the keys and the locking key are somewhere the fitter can reach, and so long as there is space to get round the wheel that needs doing. Leave a number that will be answered.
How far is Highfield from the Rescue Tyres base?
Sixteen miles and a bit separate HP2 from the Brent Cross base, and the van is loaded before setting out. You are told on the call when to expect it, and that estimate is meant honestly rather than guessed.
Is a tyre with a plug in it safe to keep using?
A plug driven in from the outside, without the tyre coming off the wheel, is not an inspection and cannot show what the object did to the inside of the casing. The proper repair takes the tyre off the rim, looks in, and seals it there.
