A builder's van beside a Nine Elms site or a courier van on a Stockwell street cannot sit idle, so load-rated van tyres are brought across Lambeth and fitted where the van stands.
Vans in Lambeth work hard in cramped conditions. Trades serving the flat conversions of Clapham and Brixton, contractors on the Nine Elms towers and couriers dropping parcels along Streatham High Road all drive loaded over the same broken kerbs and site debris. A van tyre that picks up a screw at a site entrance or splits against a Kennington kerb stops the day's work, and a damaged commercial tyre is no thing to drive on with a full load of tools aboard.
A commercial tyre is not simply a beefed-up car tyre. Its sidewall normally carries the letter C tacked onto the rim figure, marking a construction with stronger sidewalls, and they show a load index that has to match or exceed what the van's handbook or door-pillar plate asks for. Tell us the full sidewall marking, including both load numbers if two are printed, and the fitter brings the correct tyre to Lambeth. Before anything is fitted, the price is settled over the phone.
A site compound or yard in Nine Elms or Vauxhall with the manager's agreement, a level driveway in Herne Hill or Streatham, or a permit bay in Stockwell. Brixton Road, Clapham Road and every bus lane are ruled out.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Lambeth page
A laden van bears down hard through a jack, which makes dead-level tarmac or concrete essential rather than a sloping gravel drive or a grass verge. Taking tools or stock out first helps where that is practical. Electric vans on Lambeth delivery rounds carry a heavy battery, so the replacement must match the van's load rating, and choosing one whose label noise grade sits close to the original keeps road roar in the cab down.
