Petersham lies on the A307 Petersham Road between Richmond Bridge and Ham, a short stretch with very little room to pull in. Rescue Tyres deals with the tyre where the car is already parked, seven days a week.

Tyre trouble in Petersham?

The problem in Petersham is rarely the tyre and usually the geography. Petersham Road is the only sensible way between Richmond and Ham, it is narrow, and a car stopped on it holds up everything behind. So a puncture found on the move here needs to reach a drive or a side turning before any work starts. Once it is off the road the job is the ordinary one: the wheel is lifted, the carcass looked over, and it is mended or swapped where it stands.

What we do in Petersham
Tyre work in Petersham.
On a drive there is room to do the job properly, which is most of the point. A replacement is matched to every marking on the old tyre, not just the width, and the choice runs from value names up to premium, taking in run-flat and 4x4 construction. Tread damage within the bounds of BS AU 159 is mended from the inner face of the casing. Beyond those bounds it is a new tyre, with the wheel given a look before anything goes back. Keyless locking nuts come off with an extractor.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Petersham
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive is by far the best surface and most addresses here have one. Beyond that, the sensible fallbacks are all in Richmond: Friars Lane car park and the Paradise Road car park both have proper space, and Pembroke Lodge car park sits up in Richmond Park for anyone at that end. What is ruled out is the roadside on Petersham Road and the approach to Richmond Bridge, where a stopped vehicle causes a queue back through the town. Tell the fitter the gate or the house number and he will find it.
Callers are the houses along Petersham Road and the lanes running off it, plus drivers who have come over Richmond Bridge on the A305 and turned south. Most properties here have gated or set-back parking, which suits this work well, and a private drive removes every complication about traffic. The street outside does not: the A307 has no width to spare and a jacked car would sit in the running lane. St Margarets and Richmond stations are both a short drive away but neither is in Petersham itself, so nobody should expect to meet a fitter at one. The whole of TW10 is ULEZ, a rule about driving rather than about parking.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Petersham.
After dark this stretch empties out, so the night work is people returning over the bridge who feel the car pulling, and households who notice a tyre going down as they lock up. The call is answered whatever the hour, and everything about the price is dealt with on it before anybody drives out.

Petersham FAQs
Questions from Petersham.
My tyre went down on Petersham Road. Where should I stop?
Anywhere off the carriageway: a driveway, a lane leading off it, or keep going into Richmond and use Friars Lane car park if the tyre will stand the distance. Stopping on the road itself blocks traffic both ways and leaves the fitter nowhere safe to kneel.
Can you get to a house in Petersham with a gated drive?
Gated parking is ideal for this, and the van needs no more space than a car does. Open the gate before the fitter arrives or send the entry code, and give the house name as well as the number when you ring.
Is Petersham inside the ULEZ?
Every Greater London borough is, Richmond upon Thames included, at every hour of the day. It falls on vehicles being driven, though. A car standing at the kerb or on a drive with a wheel off pays nothing for the time it spends there.
Can a run-flat be repaired rather than replaced?
A run-flat driven on while deflated has usually damaged its own reinforced sidewall, and that cannot be mended. Ordered as a replacement, the correct run-flat size goes on at the address. Send the sidewall code so the right one is loaded first time.
