Tyre trouble in Marlow Bottom?

Tyre trouble here is nearly always found at home. A wheel takes a knock on a kerb somewhere out on the climb to Seymour Court Road or down into Marlow, holds pressure for a few days, then goes flat overnight on the drive. The village is more than a mile from the station and has nowhere of its own to take a wheel, so the sensible answer is for the tools to travel instead of the car. Read out the size from the sidewall, add the house number, and the tyre travels out already chosen.

What we do in Marlow Bottom
Tyre work in Marlow Bottom.
On a drive in this valley the wheel comes off and the work is done in place. Replacement tyres are ordered to the markings the car already carries, run-flat and van fitments included. A tread puncture is examined from inside the casing and mended where BS AU 159 sets the boundary, which rules out shoulders and sidewalls. A tyre gone flat with the rim on the ground is renewed once the wheel has been checked. Locking nuts come off keyless. The line is answered day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Marlow Bottom
Drives, bays and car parks.
In this village the working surface is the drive itself, and most homes have one. Failing that, a quiet close where the car can be left clear of a bend and the fitter can kneel on the pavement side. Vehicles based at Globe Business Park or Crest Distribution Park are dealt with in the yard, once the site is happy to have a van in. Nothing is jacked on Seymour Court Road, and nothing at all on the motorway or its slip roads at Handy Cross.
Calls come from the whole length of the valley and the closes running off it, plus Bovingdon Green at the top and the houses towards Little Marlow. There is no public car park in Marlow Bottom, and no station parking either, so a driveway is not merely the best surface here, it is the only dependable one. Most are level enough to take a jack, and where a drive slopes badly the road outside usually has room to park square with a clear working side. Seymour Court Road and the B482 above it are another matter: that climb feeds traffic towards Handy Cross and the motorway, and no wheel should be sitting on the tarmac beside it.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Marlow Bottom.
The night work in Marlow Bottom comes from commuters back from the motorway with a tyre going down, and from people who walk out to the car at five in the morning and find it flat. Ring or message at any hour, the size gets checked against the sidewall, and the figure is settled on the phone rather than on the doorstep.

Marlow Bottom FAQs
Questions from Marlow Bottom.
Is there anywhere public to park in Marlow Bottom for a tyre change?
Marlow Bottom has nothing public in the way of parking, which is why almost every job here finishes on a drive. If the car has nowhere of its own, leave it out on the road with a clear working side, and the fitter kneels on the pavement instead.
The tyre went on the B482 above Marlow Bottom. Where should I stop?
Come down off the climb into the village, where the closes are quiet and there is room to stand still. Seymour Court Road itself feeds traffic towards Handy Cross and is no place for a jack. If it will not budge at all and there is danger from passing traffic, ring 999.
Can a puncture be repaired on a sloping driveway?
A slope is workable when the car can sit square and chocked, though the flattest part of the drive is always better. Say what the ground is like at booking time, and the van is positioned so that the jack ends up on the firm section.
Do you fit tyres for vans at Globe Business Park?
Work vehicles at Globe Business Park and Crest Distribution Park are handled in the bay where they are standing, as long as the people running the site expect a fitter. Leave the damaged corner accessible and pass on the size from the sidewall.
