Can every flat tyre in SW14 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in SW14 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 Mortlake are replacements.

Does SW14 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in south-west London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for SW14. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from SW14?

Say the street in Mortlake, the code SW14, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

The inside of the tyre

The finished repair for a puncture in Mortlake is a patch from the inside, after the tyre is off the rim, in the manner of BS AU 159. A rope plug pushed in from the outside is not that repair. We will not describe it as one. If SW14 is a roadside spot, we still need enough room to take the wheel off.

Night calls from Mortlake

The phone is answered all night, including bank holidays. A 2am call from Mortlake is answered on 020 8088 3978. That does not mean a short wait. Lighting, a safe place to stand, and the drive into SW14 are discussed first. If the wait does not help, we will say so.

Legal tread is separate from the puncture

UK tyres need at least 1.6 mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the width, all the way round. Patching a bald tyre in Mortlake does not make it legal. If the tread on the SW14 car is already on the wear bars, expect a replacement quote, not a repair quote.

Booking Mortlake

School-run traffic changes the Mortlake arrival even when the postcode stays the same. A space-saver already fitted in Mortlake does not end the need for a proper tyre. Stay with the car in Mortlake so the technician can identify it. Height barriers on car parks in Mortlake stop some vans.
