Thames View sits directly below the A13, where Alfred's Way, Ripple Road and the Lodge Avenue Flyover run together, with Upney the closest Underground station. Rescue Tyres brings the tyre onto the estate and changes it where the car stands.

Tyre trouble in Thames View?

The A13 is close enough to Thames View to cause most of its tyre trouble. Whatever comes off the lorries on Alfred's Way and Ripple Road gets carried down the A1153 Lodge Avenue and into the estate, and the puncture shows up once the car has stood overnight. The rest is kerb work on the turning heads and parking squares. Give the registration and the number on the sidewall, and the fitter sets off loaded for it.

What we do in Thames View
Tyre work in Thames View.
At a Thames View address the list runs to tyres and wheels and stops there. Covers supplied in the size already on the car, at economy, middle or top grade, taking in run-flat, van, SUV, EV and winter patterns. A tread puncture is broken off the rim, the inside of the casing examined for harm caused by running soft, and a repair made to BS AU 159 where the standard allows. A blown tyre is swapped and its rim inspected. Where the locking key is gone, the nut still comes off.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Thames View
Drives, bays and car parks.
Parking squares and the wide estate roads are what get used, and they serve well: level, open, and no need to shift the car an inch. A driveway where a house has one is equally fine. What Thames View lacks is a public car park, so there is little point planning to meet at one. Out of the question are the A13 slip roads and the flyover, and so is the verge beside Lodge Avenue, too narrow to stand clear of traffic.
Thames View is an estate of long looping roads and open parking squares, about the friendliest layout a mobile fitter can ask for: the car stays put, the van stands near it, and nobody is squeezed up against passing traffic. Calls come from the housing on both sides of Lodge Avenue, and from the addresses that fall into RM9 rather than IG11, worth mentioning on the phone because the two run into one another here. There is no public car park on the estate, so a parking square or the road outside the block is the working surface. The A13 above is a red route and the flyover approaches are worse again. Barking Riverside and Scrattons Farm sit next door. ULEZ applies here as everywhere in London, with nothing to pay while a car is parked.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Thames View.
Barking's night shifts show up in the calls off this estate: people home late from work across the river, and drivers finding the car down on its rim before a morning start. Somebody picks up, takes the size and the block, and agrees what the visit and the tyre will come to.

Thames View FAQs
Questions from Thames View.
Can you fit a tyre on the parking square outside my block?
Those squares are among the better surfaces around Barking for this, flat and out of the traffic, and the car needs no moving at all. Tell us the block and the registration, and say roughly where on the square the vehicle is standing.
Is my address IG11 or RM9?
Both districts run through the estate and the line between them is invisible from the pavement. Copy the postcode from a letter rather than trusting memory, since that is what puts the fitter at the right block first time.
A tyre blew on the A13 at Lodge Avenue. Where do I go?
Down the slip and onto the estate roads, or into any quiet turning off Lodge Avenue, before you stop. Nothing is done on the A13 or the flyover approach. Should it be stuck there and the situation feels dangerous, phone 999 and get well back from the carriageway.
Do you take the old tyre away from the estate?
The old cover leaves on the van for proper disposal, so nothing gets left behind on the square. The replacement is balanced before fitting and the nuts torqued to the figure for your car before the fitter leaves.
