Tyre trouble in Upminster?

Upminster is a commuting town, and a good deal of its tyre trouble gets found at the end of the day rather than the start. A slow puncture collected on St Mary's Lane holds up all morning, then the car stands still for nine hours and the tyre is flat by the time its owner walks back to it. That is a simple job on the spot. Say what the size code reads and where the car is parked and it gets dealt with there.

What we do in Upminster
Tyre work in Upminster.
Commuter mileage wears tyres evenly, so a lot of RM14 work is a straight pair or a full set, matched against the markings already on the vehicle. Where something has gone through the tread and the damage lies in the middle of it, under 6 mm, an internal patch-plug to BS AU 159 saves the tyre instead. A casing that has given out altogether is replaced, and the rim is examined at the same time. Where no locking key can be found, the nut still comes off and an ordinary one replaces it.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Upminster
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives first: this is a district full of them, and a drive gives level ground, room to set the jack and somewhere to lay the wheel down. A quiet residential road is the next best thing. Gaynes Road Car Park works for a car that has driven itself in. What does not work is St Mary's Lane through the shops, or Corbets Tey Road where it narrows, because neither leaves anywhere to stand out of the traffic.
RM14 covers the whole of this, which keeps matters simpler than they are a street or two west. Calls arrive from the roads off Corbets Tey Road, from the houses behind St Mary's Lane, from Corbets Tey itself and from the Cranham side. Gaynes Road Car Park is public and has proper room in it, which makes it the obvious place to meet a car that is still driveable. Station parking is railway ground and needs their agreement. Parking along the shopping street is short stay and heavily used, so a wheel change there gets in everybody's way. Being inside Greater London, RM14 is ULEZ ground around the clock, though a stationary car having a tyre changed attracts no charge of any sort.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Upminster.
Two kinds of driver ring RM14 after dark. One has stepped off the last train to find the car sitting on its rim. The other is setting out before first light and has spotted a tyre that will not stay up. Either way somebody answers, the size is matched to the stock aboard, and the figure gets agreed there and then.

Upminster FAQs
Questions from Upminster.
Can a tyre be fitted at Upminster station car park?
Railway operators own the station car park and decide what may go on in it, so a word with them before booking is sensible. Gaynes Road Car Park is public and close by, and a residential street off Corbets Tey Road is easier still.
Does the ULEZ apply in Upminster?
RM14 lies inside Greater London and inside the zone, which operates every hour of the week. Only a non-compliant vehicle being driven is charged. Have the tyre changed on the drive and the car never moves, so nothing is payable for the work.
The pressure light came on driving along St Mary's Lane. What now?
Find somewhere off the main road to put the car, a side turning or your own drive, and look over the tread for anything stuck in it. Then ring, read the sidewall size out, and mention whether the tyre is holding anything.
Can you replace two tyres in one visit?
Two, or all four where the tread has worn down together. Say how many and give the size, and they come loaded on the van, so the whole thing is done in a single visit rather than dragged out over two.
