A screw from a Hinckley industrial estate, felt as a slow leak by Burbage? Come off the M69, park, and the puncture is repaired to BS AU 159 where you stop.
Building sites and industrial units around Hinckley and Burbage leave nails and screws in the road, and a tyre often carries one for days before the M69 pushes the pressure down. The warning light might come on between J1 and J2 or on the approach to the M1. Because the motorway has no services, the repair has to wait until the car is parked in town or at Fosse Park.
Off comes the wheel, then the tyre leaves the rim so its inner casing can be checked for damage from running soft. BS AU 159 permits a repair where one hole, 6 mm across at most, lies inside the tread's central three-quarters, and it is sealed by a patch-plug put in from the inside. A sidewall hole or a shoulder puncture means a new tyre instead, and that price is given before any work.
Once you have rung, we can also cover 24 hour tyre service on the M69, emergency tyre repair and locking wheel nut removal on the M69.
Burbage village streets and Sapcote via the B4669 at J2, Hinckley retail car parks off the A5 at J1, with the operator's permission, or Fosse Park at M1 J21 all work for a repair. Nothing is done on the M69 carriageway or its verge.

How a mobile puncture repair is done →Puncture repair on the M69 page
A slow leak collected on the M69 often makes itself known once the car is parked at the shops. Arena Shopping Park beside Coventry Arena station is one place a soft tyre gets noticed, and Gallagher Retail Park is another. Where the hole lies inside the repairable middle zone and the casing passes to BS AU 159, the plug and patch goes in where the car stands.
Once parked off the M69, give the tyre a rest rather than pumping it for another dash towards Burbage. A can of aerosol sealant looks helpful but glues the inner liner, and BS AU 159 repairs cannot be made through that mess. Spot the screw, then judge whether it lies in the middle band of tread or out near the edge, where patching stops. Hunt out the locking key and wait on a quiet Burbage road reached from J2.
