This is where A316 casualties come to rest. The dual carriageway crosses the top of the district on its way to Twickenham Bridge, and a driver who feels a tyre let go on it has the roundabout at St Margarets and the turnings either side as the first real chance to get off. Once the car is down in the streets below, on St Margarets Road or Crown Road, there is space to work. Local calls are the other half: kerbed rims and slow punctures found at home.

What we do in St Margarets
Tyre work in St Margarets.
What the dual carriageway produces is usually beyond saving, so the common job here is an outright replacement: a new casing in the exact specification, fitted and balanced beside the car, and the wheel itself examined for damage picked up when the tyre went. Quieter trouble is treated more gently, a screw in the tread being mended inside the casing to BS AU 159 wherever the rules allow. Keyless locking nuts are extracted. Stock covers value names to premium, run-flats among them.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in St Margarets
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive if you have one. If not, a permit bay serves, as long as the car is straight in it and the van can slot in behind. Cole Court and the Arragon Road multi-storey are close enough for anything that will still drive, and the Old Deer Park parking is another option on the Richmond side. The A316 is not usable at any point: a red route, with no standing space clear of moving traffic.
The district is a triangle: the A316 along one side, the river along another, and the A3004 St Margarets Road running through the middle with Crown Road off it. Houses are a mix, some with drives and many without, and the streets nearest the station carry permit parking, so the car has to be somewhere you are entitled to leave it. East Twickenham, between here and Richmond Bridge, is much the same. Over the A316 sits Ivybridge Retail Park, and Twickenham Trading Estate accounts for the commercial calls. Being a London borough, TW1 is ULEZ at all times, though nothing is charged on a car held still with its wheel off.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in St Margarets.
Most of the late traffic here is people who have come off the dual carriageway on a ruined tyre and pulled up in the residential grid. They would rather not leave the car sitting on a rim until morning, and they do not have to. Someone answers whenever you ring, and the figure for the callout and the tyre is fixed then.

St Margarets FAQs
Questions from St Margarets.
A tyre blew on the A316 near St Margarets. What should I do?
Leave at the first exit you can take safely, get down into the ordinary streets and stop there. No fitter works on a live carriageway, on any hard shoulder or in a refuge area. An immovable car means 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, and recovery first.
Which St Margarets is this page about?
The one in TW1, on the Twickenham side of the river between Twickenham and Richmond, with a National Rail station of the same name. Others exist around the country; this page is about the Richmond upon Thames one, and the round takes it in daily.
Can you meet me at St Margarets station?
The forecourt and the approach are busy and tight, so a residential street a turning away is better, or Cole Court car park if the car is driveable. Once it is stopped, send the street and say where in it the car sits.
Can a puncture picked up at Ivybridge Retail Park be repaired?
Retail park screws are the most repairable damage there is, going straight into the middle of the tread as a rule. If the tyre kept its air, the casing is lifted off the wheel and patched from within under BS AU 159.
