Lower Road bends round the old dock basins here as the A200, and the Rotherhithe Tunnel dives under the river just north of it. Rescue Tyres loads the tyre and the fitting gear and comes to you, so the car never moves.

Tyre trouble in Surrey Quays?

Most of SE16 is flats, so a car is rarely more than a bay number and a block name. A tyre picks something up on Redriff Road or coming off the A2208 Rotherhithe New Road, holds air long enough to get home, then sits flat by the morning. Driving it round the loop looking for help only spoils the wheel as well. Ring with the size off the sidewall and where the car stands, and the wheel is taken off exactly there.

What we do in Surrey Quays
Tyre work in Surrey Quays.
Four jobs account for nearly everything rung in from SE16. A tyre gone soft overnight is lifted off, parted from the rim and examined on the inside face, and provided the puncture lies in the middle of the tread and is small enough, an internal patch-plug to BS AU 159 returns it to use. A tyre shredded beyond saving is exchanged for one bearing identical markings. A missing locking key costs nothing but an extra step, since the nut is spun off and the alloy stays unmarked. The phone itself never closes.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Surrey Quays
Drives, bays and car parks.
Resident bays and estate car parks do most of the work in this corner of Southwark, and a car sitting square inside its markings can be jacked without moving. The Tesco Extra bays suit somebody whose tyre went down mid-shop, though they are busy and the store decides who works in them. A yard on the Sandgate Street or Kent Park estates is better again for a van. What fails is a car wedged nose in against a wall with no room on the offside, or one abandoned on a tunnel approach.
Callers are spread across the whole peninsula: the blocks off Lower Road, the streets either side of Redriff Road, the older terraces towards Rotherhithe and Canada Water, and the Pepys Estate on the SE8 edge. Estate parking is the usual working spot, and it is worth telling whoever manages the block that a fitter is booked, because barriers and permit signs are enforced round here. The A200 carries everything between Jamaica Road and Evelyn Street, and the ramps down to the Rotherhithe Tunnel offer no legal place to pull in, so neither of them will do. Trade calls come from the Admiral Hyson Trading Estate and the Canterbury Industrial Estate, where there is space to swing a wheel.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Surrey Quays.
Darkness brings two kinds of caller here: somebody off a late turn who walks up to a car sitting on its rim, and a driver just out of the tunnel who would rather not leave it till morning. Whatever the hour, somebody picks up, your sidewall code is checked, and the sum is settled before a van moves.

Surrey Quays FAQs
Questions from Surrey Quays.
Will you work in an estate car park off Lower Road?
Estate parking is where a good share of SE16 jobs finish. Let the managing agent or the concierge know a van is booked so the barrier is no obstacle, give the block and the bay, and the car stays put throughout.
My tyre went down inside the Rotherhithe Tunnel. What should I do?
Stopping is not permitted anywhere inside the A101 tunnel. Keep the car rolling gently until you are clear of it, then turn off into a quiet street away from Lower Road and stop properly. Ring from there with the registration and the size.
Do you come out to Canada Water and Rotherhithe too?
The whole peninsula is on the round, Canada Water, Rotherhithe and the streets off Redriff Road included, along with the SE8 edge by Deptford. Cover runs down from the base at Brent Cross, and a sensible arrival time gets worked out with you on the call.
Is a van tyre on the Admiral Hyson Trading Estate any different?
A van tyre is ordered the same way: the code moulded into its sidewall says what goes on the wheel. There is room on that estate to work properly. Say where the vehicle stands and whether the tyre holds air, since a cut sidewall means replacement.
