Tyre trouble in Hockley?

Hockley's tyre damage comes from its working streets. Vans loading outside small workshops pick up screws and offcuts, and the circuses at Key Hill and Lucas Circus throw cars into tight turns where a kerbed rim is common. Much of it is discovered on the way out of a unit at the end of the day. Text the postcode and tyre size, say whether the vehicle is kerbside or behind a gate, and the tyre is sorted where it stands.

What we do in Hockley
Tyre work in Hockley.
Most Hockley calls are for vans and cars on working time. Each replacement is ordered to the exact size and load index printed on the old tyre, so a van gets a tyre built for heavy loads rather than a car tyre that merely fits. Tread punctures from workshop debris are demounted and mended from the inside, to BS AU 159, where the hole is within the repairable zone. A burst or sidewall-damaged tyre is replaced. Key for the locking wheel nuts gone missing? Each nut is removed without harming the alloy.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Hockley
Drives, bays and car parks.
Pay-and-display bays and public car parks are the practical surfaces here. The Jewellery Quarter Car Park and the Smith Street and Caroline Street car parks all work for a car that can reach them, and a side-street pay bay is fine once the ticket is bought. A gated courtyard or a unit forecourt on an industrial estate is better still, once whoever manages it has agreed. Not usable: the circuses, the Middleway carriageway, and any loading bay a delivery needs.
Hockley straddles the edge of the Clean Air Zone. Icknield Street and Boulton Middleway form the line: the streets on the city side, around the Jewellery Quarter, are inside, while Hockley Circus and the roads beyond it towards Soho Hill are outside. Having a wheel changed while parked costs nothing either way, since the zone only bills a non-compliant vehicle on the move inside it. Calls come from units on the Hockley Industrial Estate and at Tudor Works, from flats near St Paul's, and from drivers who park near Jewellery Quarter station. The ring road itself, Key Hill Circus and Lucas Circus included, is not a place to stop. Nor are the loading bays the workshops depend on through the working day.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Hockley.
Late calls from Hockley come from people locking up a unit after a long shift and finding a flat, and from residents of the flats whose car sat in a bay all day. Someone answers through the night, and what it will cost is confirmed during that conversation, never afterwards.

Hockley FAQs
Questions from Hockley.
Can you fit a tyre in the Jewellery Quarter Car Park in Hockley?
That car park has room around each space, so it works well for anyone who can drive there. Park away from the entrance, pay for the space as normal, and send the level or row so the fitter walks directly to the car.
Will a tyre fitted in Hockley land me with a Clean Air Zone charge?
The fitting itself never triggers a charge, because the zone bills non-compliant vehicles being driven inside the A4540 Middleway, not cars parked still. Hockley Circus and the streets beyond it are outside the zone; the Jewellery Quarter side of Icknield Street is inside.
A screw has gone into my van tyre on the Hockley Industrial Estate. Can it be repaired?
Often it can. With the screw in the central tread and only a small hole left, the tyre is demounted, examined on the inside and given an internal repair. A hole close to the shoulder, or any sidewall wound, cannot be mended, and a replacement is sized from the markings.
How far do you travel to reach Hockley, B18?
Brent Cross in north London is home to the van, and the coverage stretches up the whole way to Birmingham, so Hockley falls inside it. Timing depends on the van's position on the day; a phone call to 07473 720871 pins down a realistic arrival for Hockley.
