Three stations sit inside a mile of Ickenham: Hillingdon, Ickenham itself and West Ruislip. A commuter walking back to a flat tyre is the classic call here, and Rescue Tyres comes to the car in UB10, on the station side roads or the drive.

Tyre trouble in Ickenham?

Ickenham's tyre problems split between the commute and the A40. Cars stand all day at Hillingdon and West Ruislip while their owners are in town, and a slow puncture picked up on Long Lane or Swakeleys Road announces itself at the end of the day. The A40 Western Avenue runs along the top of the place and supplies the harder damage: a blown casing, a buckled rim, a sidewall opened by something in the road. The car gets parked off it, then the fitter comes with the tyre.

What we do in Ickenham
Tyre work in Ickenham.
Repairs outnumber replacements in UB10, because commuting on local roads tends to plant the damage centrally in the tread, which is precisely the zone BS AU 159 treats as mendable from within. Once a casing is finished, though, a replacement is matched to the existing fitment, spanning budget names to premium ones and taking in run flat, EV and van sizes. A locking nut without its key gets extracted on the spot. Balancing is done there too, and somebody picks up the phone at any hour.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Ickenham
Drives, bays and car parks.
Ickenham is mostly houses with drives and that is where most wheels come off, on a level surface with room to walk round the car. Residential kerbside is fine on the quieter turnings, less so on the B466 Long Lane where traffic is steady. Estate yards and unit forecourts work with the site's agreement. Two things rule a spot out: the A40 and the A437 Freezeland Way, which no fitter attends, and a car parked nose to tail with no clearance to draw the wheel out.
UB10 covers the lot, which keeps things simple. Calls come from the streets off the High Road Ickenham and Swakeleys Road, from the roads towards North Hillingdon and the Swakeleys Roundabout, and from the two station car parks. Those car parks, at Hillingdon and West Ruislip, are railway property, and a wheel comes off in one only where the operator is content with it, so a residential road a turning away avoids the question. Work also goes on at Gutteridge Works and the Braintree Road Industrial Estate, on estate ground with permission. This is Greater London, so ULEZ runs here at all hours, but it charges vehicles that move, and nothing sitting on a jack is moving.

Late callers in Ickenham are usually one of two people: somebody off the final train finding the car down on its rim, or a driver who has left the A40 and turned into the village streets to stop. After dark the number does not change, 07473 720871, and the size and the cost get agreed while you are still on it.

Ickenham FAQs
Questions from Ickenham.
Can you fit a tyre in the car park at Hillingdon station?
Station parking is the railway's ground and a service van working in it is the operator's call, so raise it when you ring. A lot of UB10 commuters simply drive round to a residential turning nearby and call from there, which settles the question.
I found a nail in the tyre after driving Swakeleys Road all week. Is that repairable?
Most likely. A nail standing upright in the central band, in a casing that was never driven flat, is exactly the case BS AU 159 lets a fitter mend. The tyre is taken off the rim so its lining can be read before anything is decided.
Something went wrong on the A40 Western Avenue. Where do I stop?
Off the dual carriageway and into Ickenham, not on the verge or a slip road. Swakeleys Road or a turning off the High Road Ickenham gives the car somewhere to sit and the fitter somewhere to stand. If it cannot move, call National Highways on 0300 123 5000.
Do you supply run flat tyres for Ickenham drivers?
Run flats are sourced and fitted in the size the car already carries, and they need the right equipment rather than a special trip. What cannot be done is repairing one that has been driven a distance with no pressure in it, since the structure will already be damaged.
