Between Commercial Street and Brick Lane the streets are narrow, bollarded and packed at the weekend, so a flat tyre turns into an awkward possession. Rescue Tyres brings the replacement to the car rather than the other way about.

Tyre trouble in Spitalfields?

in Spitalfields.
Damage in Spitalfields comes from pressure and traffic rather than from potholes. Cars squeeze into bays on streets that were never widened, alloys catch the kerb, and deliveries drop enough sharp scrap around Commercial Street for a tyre to pick something up at crawling speed. By the time the car is wanted again it is flat. Give the fitter the size from the sidewall, the E1 postcode and a word about which street is shut to traffic, and the right tyre arrives with him.

What we do in Spitalfields
Tyre work in Spitalfields.
The jobs that come out of this square mile are punctures, kerb-wrecked tyres and vans needing a size ordered in. Where the puncture sits inside the repairable area, the standard governing it is BS AU 159 and the patch goes on from within after the cover has come off the rim. Where the sidewall is torn, a new tyre is fitted to the same specification as the one on the other side. Locking nuts are removed without a key, and the phone is manned around the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Spitalfields
Drives, bays and car parks.
A resident bay or a paid bay on a side turning is where most of this goes on, so long as the car is not blocking a loading window. The public car park on Brick Lane takes a driveable car and gives the fitter proper room around the wheel. Underground parking beneath the newer blocks is good when the management agrees to a van coming down. Market loading areas during trading, and the footway itself, are out of the question.
The callers are a mixture: residents of the old terraces and the newer flats, traders with vans parked near the market, plus visitors who park on a bay and spend the day between Brick Lane and Liverpool Street. Access is the local problem. Several streets take bollards or restricted hours, and the weekend crowd fills the rest, so the fitter needs to know which end of the street a vehicle can enter by. Commercial Street carries the A1202 and is not a place to change a wheel, nor is Shoreditch High Street at the northern end. The western edge, over on the City side, lies within the Congestion Charge boundary, while the ULEZ takes in the lot.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Spitalfields.
The night trade here is real, so calls arrive long after the offices have gone home: somebody back at the car at closing time with a tyre down, a trader setting up before dawn who finds a soft one. Whatever the hour, the size is confirmed on the phone and the price is fixed before the van moves.

Spitalfields FAQs
Questions from Spitalfields.
My street near the market has bollards. Can a van still reach the car?
It can, once the fitter knows which approach is open. Give the street, the end you came in by and any hours restriction on the signs, and the van comes the way a delivery would. Failing that, the car moves to the nearest bay that works.
Can a tyre be fitted at the weekend when Spitalfields is busy?
Weekends are ordinary working days on this round. The crowds make access slower, so a bay on a quieter turning off Commercial Street beats a spot in the thick of it. Say where the car is standing and the fitter judges the approach.
Is a puncture from market scrap worth repairing?
It depends where the thing went in. Something small in the middle of the tread, found before the tyre has been driven flat, is usually repairable from the inside. Metal that has sliced the shoulder or the sidewall is not, so that cover gets replaced.
Does Spitalfields sit inside the Congestion Charge zone?
Only its western edge, on the City side towards Bishopsgate Without. The rest, out past Brick Lane, lies outside. Either way the charge follows a vehicle being driven, so a car parked up with its wheel off collects nothing at all.
