West Heath is the south Birmingham suburb strung along the A441 Redditch Road, with Turves Green and Hawkesley as its neighbours. Rescue Tyres turns up at your drive with the new tyre and balancing kit, so nothing is driven anywhere on a damaged tyre.

Tyre trouble in West Heath?

in West Heath.
Most West Heath calls start on a driveway. A tyre picks up a screw somewhere on the A441, holds on long enough to reach home and is sitting on its rim by morning. The other usual story is a tyre damaged on the M42 and nursed back up Redditch Road afterwards. Either way the fitter wants three things from you: the size printed on the sidewall, the postcode, and whether the car is on private ground or out in the street. With those three, the correct tyre goes on board before departure.

What we do in West Heath
Tyre work in West Heath.
Replacement tyres come in the size and grade you pick, fitted and balanced beside the car. A screw or nail through the tread earns an inside inspection with the tyre demounted, and a hole inside the area BS AU 159 allows is plugged and patched from within. Following a burst, the rim is inspected before a new tyre goes on. Lost the key to the locking wheel nuts? The nut can still come off with the right tools, and the callout line stays open overnight.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in West Heath
Drives, bays and car parks.
The drive is the working surface of choice, and most West Heath houses have one. Failing that, a quiet side street with the car tucked in tight and room for traffic to pass. The customer car parks at the nearby Sainsbury's, Aldi and M&S Foodhall stores are an option if the car can make the short trip, with the work done in a standard space well clear of trolleys and entrances. Redditch Road itself, and any bus stop, is not usable.
The suburb straddles two postcode districts, B31 on the Northfield side and B38 on the Kings Norton side, and calls come from the avenues in both. Redditch Road and Birmingham Road carry the A441 through, while Longbridge Lane and Groveley Lane carry the B4096 across towards Longbridge. None of those through routes is somewhere to jack up a car, with constant traffic and nowhere to stand clear of it. A driveway a few doors off them nearly always is. For anybody working on the Kings Norton Trading Estate, a yard there can serve too, once whoever runs the site has agreed. The Clean Air Zone is drawn around the A4540 Middleway, a long way from West Heath, so nothing is payable just because the van comes out.

West Heath FAQs
Questions from West Heath.
My tyre failed on the M42 by Hopwood. Will a fitter come out on the motorway?
Not on the M42 itself: a car stranded in an emergency area, or stopped on its hard shoulder, is off limits. If you can get off safely, pull into Hopwood Park services at junction 2. In danger? Dial 999. Otherwise National Highways, 0300 123 5000, arranges recovery, and the fitter meets the car there.
Is West Heath B31 or B38?
Both, depending on the street. The Northfield side is mostly B31 and the Kings Norton side is B38. Quoting the full postcode when you ring lets the fitter find the exact avenue, which counts for more than the road name in a suburb spread across two districts.
Can you meet me at Northfield or Longbridge station?
Both stations are about a mile from West Heath, and a flat discovered after the train home can be dealt with there, provided the car is in a proper marked bay rather than the drop-off area. Name the station and roughly which part of its car park.
Is this page for the West Heath near Longbridge, or another one?
This is the West Heath in south Birmingham, postcodes B31 and B38, beside Turves Green and Hawkesley. The van travels a long way up from its base at Brent Cross, so ring first and the likely arrival is discussed openly before anything is booked.
