"Life saver. Sudden puncture, hard-to-find tyre. They got back to me within 10 minutes and did a mobile tyre change."
Mobile tyre fitting
in Roehampton.
Roehampton has no station inside it, so Roehampton Lane, the A306, is how everybody gets out: north to Tibbet's Corner or south to the A205. Rescue Tyres comes out to the vehicle, working in the court or on the hard standing where it sits.
A fitter at your car
in Roehampton.
A district that depends on driving feels a flat tyre more than most, and the nearest platforms are over at Barnes or down at Putney. What gets damaged here tends to be damaged on the climb: Roehampton Lane, Putney Hill and the run to the A3 at Tibbet's Corner all take steady traffic, and the rest of the trouble is collected in the tighter estate roads where parking leaves little clearance. The tyre travels out to the vehicle, which therefore never has to be driven anywhere on a flat.

Tyre work in Roehampton.
Fitting happens at the vehicle: the new tyre matched to the sidewall code, balanced on the spot, the tyre it replaces going back in the van. A tread puncture gets a repair from inside the casing, and BS AU 159 governs both where in a tyre that may go and how big the hole may be, so it always comes off the rim for inspection before anything is decided. Sidewall damage and blowouts mean a replacement. A locking nut whose key has gone astray is drawn off the stud. Nights and weekends are covered.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A parking court or a garage apron on the estate, a drive or hard standing at a house, or a residential side street with the car square to the kerb. Danebury Avenue car park is the public option in the middle of the district, and Roehampton Gate car park at the edge of it has plenty of room for a vehicle that still moves under its own power. What cannot be used is Roehampton Lane, the South Circular or anywhere on the A3, where stopping is not allowed at all.
Work here divides between the estate blocks around Danebury Avenue, with their parking courts and garage rows, and the houses on the streets off Roehampton Lane and towards Putney Vale. Courts are the better surface of the two, flat and away from moving traffic, though the block manager should know a van is coming. Where a house has hard standing, that is simpler again. On-street, a quiet residential road is workable. Roehampton Lane itself is not, nor the A205 Upper Richmond Road and Queen's Ride, which run continuous traffic. Danebury Avenue car park serves anyone with nothing outside the door, and the one at Roehampton Gate, out on the edge, makes an easy meeting point.

24 hours in Roehampton.
Without a station of its own, Roehampton drives home late, and the calls reflect it: a tyre losing pressure on the way back from the A3, or somebody spotting a flat on the court before an early start. Somebody is on the line at any hour, and the whole figure, tyre and callout together, is agreed before the van leaves.
What drivers say.
