Two trunk roads box this place in. Blackheath Road and Deptford Broadway carry the A2 along the top, Loampit Hill and Loampit Vale carry the A20 below, and both throw up the debris that ends up as a slow puncture on a residential street. The sensible move is to leave the car parked and not chase a tyre round Lewisham. The size is stamped on the sidewall, so send that with the road name.

What we do in St Johns
Tyre work in St Johns.
The jobs are the same whichever street they come from: a replacement tyre in the exact sidewall size, fitted and balanced at the car; a puncture where the tyre comes off the wheel first, is inspected from within and is repaired only where BS AU 159 allows; a burst tyre exchanged once the rim has been eyed over; a locking wheel nut taken off even though the key cannot be found. Lines are open at any hour of any day.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in St Johns
Drives, bays and car parks.
A front hard standing or a driveway is first choice and a lot of St Johns has one. A kerbside space on a side street is second, with room behind the car for the jack and the wheel. Industrial units and estate yards work for vans once somebody at the site has been warned. If the car can be driven, Burney Street Car Park over in Greenwich is a public option with space around the bays. Bus stops and the DLR approaches are not.
Houses account for most of it: the terraces between St Johns station and Deptford, the flats towards Lewisham, and the estates on the Greenwich side. Some streets are permit-controlled and some are not, and a good number of houses have a hard standing at the front, which is the easiest surface of all. Where there is none, the kerbside works so long as the car is not wedged between two others. Commercial calls come from Brookmarsh Industrial Estate and the units by the creek. Nothing gets worked on along the A2 at Blackheath Road or the A20 at Loampit Vale. SE8 falls in the ULEZ, a charge on moving vehicles and not on one parked for a wheel change.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in St Johns.
The night list in SE8 is made of early starts and late finishes: a van due out of the yards by the creek before dawn, or somebody home off the DLR at Elverson Road with a tyre flat on the street. One call settles the price, and the bill is paid up only once the wheel is torqued down.

St Johns FAQs
Questions from St Johns.
Is this the St Johns in south east London?
This one is SE8 and SE13, between Deptford, Greenwich and Lewisham, with St Johns station on the line towards Lewisham. The same name turns up elsewhere in Britain more than once. The patch covered runs from north London down through the boroughs to Greenwich.
Can a tyre be changed on my front hard standing?
That is the ideal spot and the fitter will take it every time. Nothing has to move, the ground is level and no traffic goes past. Leave room on one side to get a jack under it, and the worn casing goes away with the fitter.
What if the tyre has gone on Loampit Vale?
Come off the A20 into a residential street first, because there is no safe room to work on that road. Once the car is parked away from the traffic the wheel comes off there. If it cannot be moved at all, ring and say so.
Do you cover the industrial units by the creek at Deptford?
Commercial work around Brookmarsh Industrial Estate and the yards near the creek is part of the round, and van sizes are carried or ordered in. The site needs to know a fitter is coming, and the vehicle should stand clear of loading traffic.
