Tyre trouble in Thimble End?

in Thimble End.
Thimble End is quiet housing just off Walmley Road, so a tyre problem here is usually spotted in the morning beside the house. A slow leak from a screw, a tyre worn past the legal limit, or a split sidewall after a knock all come up. Penns Lane and Eachelhurst Road carry the B4148 on towards Wylde Green and Erdington. Tell us the size and the postcode and the right tyre comes along with the fitter.

What we do in Thimble End
Tyre work in Thimble End.
Replacement tyres are fitted and balanced beside the car, in the size and tier the driver chooses. Where a screw has lodged in the tread, the tyre is demounted and its inner lining examined; the repair goes ahead only when it sits inside the area BS AU 159 sets out. A burst is replaced after the wheel has been checked, locking nuts without a key can be removed, and any hour of the day or night is fine for a callout.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Thimble End
Drives, bays and car parks.
Most Thimble End jobs take place on a driveway, which is the easiest surface to work on. A level kerb on a residential road is the alternative, provided the fitter can reach the flat side without standing in the lane. Walmley Road and Penns Lane are the through routes, so a car stuck on either needs moving to a side road first. Thimble End has no big public car park to use instead.
Calls come from the streets between Walmley Road and Penns Lane, from Walmley itself and from Reddicap Heath to the north. The houses mostly have drives, and the roads are residential without much through traffic, so a fitter can work at the car with little fuss. Working vehicles bring the other side of the picture: Maybrook Business Park and the industrial estates towards Minworth and Erdington, where a van with a flat can be dealt with in a yard if the site agrees. Wylde Green station is the closest rail stop, a little over a mile off. The Birmingham Clean Air Zone is several miles south, so nothing is charged here.

Night calls from Thimble End tend to come from residents who spot a sagging tyre late in the evening, or from a van driver on the Minworth estates needing to get going before dawn. The line is manned round the clock, and the total for the visit and tyre is agreed in that call.

Thimble End FAQs
Questions from Thimble End.
Where is Thimble End, and do you cover it?
Thimble End is the small area beside Walmley in Sutton Coldfield, around the B4148 Walmley Road in B76 and B72. It is covered, and the van drives up from north London, so call 07473 720871 and you will get a realistic arrival time.
Can you fit a tyre at Maybrook Business Park near Thimble End?
A yard or parking area on the park is workable once the site office knows the fitter is due. Give the unit, read the tyre size off the sidewall, and say if it is a van, which needs a tyre with the correct load index.
My tyre in Thimble End looks worn. How do I know if it is legal?
For a car the legal minimum is 1.6 mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the width, around the whole tyre. Many drivers replace well before that. If you are unsure, send a photo, and if it needs replacing a new tyre is fitted on your drive.
Must I be in when the Thimble End fitter arrives?
Not necessarily, provided there is access to the car and you have arranged how the key is handed over. Most people in Thimble End are at home anyway, and the bill is paid only when the job is done.
