Tyre trouble in Roade?

Northampton and Towcester are both a drive away from Roade, and taking a failing tyre to either does it no favours. Most punctures here come in off the A508, the main road linking the village with Northampton, and reveal themselves the next morning as a sagging tyre by the front door. The lanes out to Ashton, Courteenhall and Hartwell add the odd kerbed or cut sidewall. A phone call with the size and the house name is enough for a matching tyre to be sourced.

What we do in Roade
Tyre work in Roade.
A tyre for Roade is ordered to the exact size on the sidewall and carried on the van, then fitted and balanced on the drive. Nails and screws in the tread get a look from inside the demounted tyre, and a repair to BS AU 159 is made only where that standard accepts the position. A tyre shredded on the A508 is replaced, with the wheel inspected first. No key for the locking wheel nuts? Those get removed as well. Weekends and nights are covered.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Roade
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive is the working surface for most Roade jobs, and a gravelled one is fine as long as a firm, level spot can be found. A village road also serves if the car sits lawfully with its damaged side away from passing cars. Outlying farmhouses and cottages can be reached if there is a gateway or yard to pull into. The A508 Northampton Road and the narrow lanes between villages are not usable, since a van would block them.
Roade itself provides most calls, with the rest from the smaller places nearby: Ashton, Courteenhall, Stoke Bruerne, Shutlanger and Blisworth. Addresses straddle NN7 and NN12, which makes the complete postcode worth reading out. Village houses mostly have off-road parking of their own, and the tyre is changed on it. With no public car park anywhere in Roade, a car short of its own drive should wait in a quiet street, parked with open space beside the deflated corner. The A508 is the place not to stop: it is a busy trunk road with nowhere to stand clear of the traffic. Nothing on this part of Northamptonshire carries a clean-air charge.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Roade.
A Roade call at night is usually a driver who came home on a soft tyre from the A508, or a car found flat before the commute to Northampton or Milton Keynes. Ring at any hour; the callout charge and the tyre price are confirmed with you before the van starts out.

Roade FAQs
Questions from Roade.
Do you come out to Roade, or only to Northampton and Towcester?
Roade is covered, along with Ashton, Stoke Bruerne, Courteenhall and the other villages round it. Setting out from Brent Cross in north London means a trip of around fifty miles, so ring or WhatsApp 07473 720871 and an honest idea of timing will be given before you hang up.
There is no public car park in Roade. Where can the fitter work?
Your drive, or a quiet village road with the car lawfully parked and room around the damaged wheel. If the car has stopped on the A508 itself, move it slowly into the village before calling, rather than waiting beside the main road.
Can you find a cottage in Stoke Bruerne or Shutlanger with no house number?
Give the house name, the postcode and a landmark on the way in, such as a gate, a sign or a named turning, and send a WhatsApp location pin if you can. Village addresses in NN12 and NN7 often need that little extra.
Is a puncture from the A508 near Roade worth repairing instead of replacing?
Often it is, when the hole lies within the middle of the tread, the tyre still has legal tread depth and there is no hidden damage inside. Damage to the sidewall, or a tyre run on the rim for any distance, calls for a replacement.
