Tyre trouble in North End?

in North End.
Much of the tyre damage around here starts on the industrial side of the district. Thames Road and the A2016 Bronze Age Way carry lorries in and out of the riverside estates all day, and whatever drops off them finds car tread on Queens Road and Northend Road soon afterwards. Bexley Road on the A220 adds kerb scuffs from cars squeezing past parked traffic. The fitter wants the DA8 postcode and whatever is moulded into the sidewall, after which a matching cover leaves Brent Cross on the van.

What we do in North End
Tyre work in North End.
Almost everything asked for in DA8 falls into four jobs. A new tyre in the marked size, loaded onto the van before it sets out. A tread puncture lifted off the wheel so the inside face can be read, then patched and plugged where BS AU 159 permits. A cut or blown cover changed on the spot, the rim given a look over before the wheel returns. A locking nut undone with a removal socket when its key has vanished. Wheel alignment is not part of a mobile job.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in North End
Drives, bays and car parks.
Best of all is a private drive or a marked residential bay, where the car keeps its space and the wheel comes off at the kerbside. Estate yards suit working vehicles, as long as whoever holds the gate knows a fitting van is due in. Tower Retail Park and the Morrisons parking give a car that still drives somewhere level and open to wait. There is no public town car park in this pocket worth sending anybody to, so a home or a workplace address beats going looking for one.
Calls come off the terraced streets between Erith station and Northumberland Heath, from Slade Green and Barnehurst on the far side, and from the yards at the Europa Trading Estate, Hamlet International Industrial Estate and Acorn Industrial Park, where a van sitting on a soft tyre cannot load. A driveway is the usual answer and DA8 has plenty of them. What will not do is the A206 itself, whether the signs call it Queens Road, South Road or Northend Road: it is a through route with traffic either side and nowhere to plant a jack. This corner of Bexley lies inside the ULEZ as all of London does, and the zone charges vehicles that drive, not wheels coming off a stationary car.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in North End.
Overnight calls from this end of Bexley tend to be drivers home late off the A2016 who find a tyre losing air on the drive, and early shift vans on the riverside estates that will not make a first drop on a flat. The line is answered around the clock, seven days, and nothing is charged that was not put to you on the phone first.

North End FAQs
Questions from North End.
Is this the North End near Erith, or one of the others?
This one sits in Bexley, the DA8 streets between Erith station and Northumberland Heath. The name is common elsewhere in the country, so quote the postcode when you ring 07473 720871 and there is no confusion about which North End you mean.
A works van has a nail in it at the Europa Trading Estate. What happens?
Give the tyre size, whichever unit or gate it has stopped at, and whether the tyre still holds any air. Tread damage within the limits BS AU 159 sets takes an internal repair. A cut through the shoulder or sidewall does not, and that wheel gets a new tyre.
Where can a fitter work if a DA8 terrace has no driveway?
The car is dealt with where it is parked, at the kerb on the quieter turnings off Bexley Road or Erith Road. What the fitter needs is enough room to swing a bar and level ground under the jack. If the street is packed solid, Tower Retail Park is the fallback for a car that drives.
Does the ULEZ cost me anything while the tyre is being changed?
Nothing at all. The zone takes in every London borough, Bexley among them, and runs at all hours, but what it bills is the act of driving a non-compliant vehicle. Sat on a drive or a bay with the wheel off, the car is going nowhere.
