Can every flat tyre in N1 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in N1 is only suitable when the damage is in the central tread and the tyre can come off the wheel for an internal patch. Sidewall cuts in Barnsbury are replacements.

Does N1 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in north London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for N1. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from N1?

Say the street in Barnsbury, the code N1, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.
