Got a puncture at home, at work, or out on the road? Do not drive on a damaged tyre. Just call, and a trained mobile technician is on the way. We carry out BS AU 159-compliant puncture repairs at your exact location across the UK. Every puncture repair involves removing the tyre and conducting a thorough internal safety check. If the tyre cannot be safely repaired, we replace it on the same visit. In most UK areas, our technicians typically reach you within 30 to 60 minutes of your call.
This is the question every driver wants answered before anything else, and it is the one most tyre services sidestep with a shrug and a new tyre quote. Here is the honest answer.
| A Puncture Can Usually Be Repaired When: | A Tyre Cannot Be Repaired When: |
|---|---|
| The damage is within the central 75% of the tread area | The damage is on or near the sidewall or shoulder |
| The puncture is 6mm or smaller in diameter | The hole exceeds 6mm in diameter |
| The tyre has not been driven on while flat | The tyre has been run flat, even briefly |
| The inner liner and structural cords are undamaged | The inner liner or structural cords are compromised |
| Tread depth is at or above the 1.6mm legal minimum | Tread depth is below the legal limit |
| There are no overlapping or unsafe previous repairs | A previous repair already exists too close to the damage |
Every call-out we attend in the UK includes a complete, properly executed repair process, not a quick roadside plug. Here is what we do on every visit.
We carry out only BS AU 159-compliant repairs using the combination plug-patch method. The tyre is removed from the rim. We inspect the inner liner for hidden damage. We clean and prepare the puncture channel using a carbide mill cutter. The mushroom plug-patch is applied from the inside, sealed using vulcanisation, and the inner liner is buffed and bonded. The tyre is put back on the rim only after the repair is confirmed sound.
If your tyre is losing pressure slowly, we conduct a full on-site diagnosis. We check the valve stem, the bead seal, and the tyre surface for the source of the leak. A failing valve stem is replaced immediately. A damaged bead is re-seated and sealed. If a nail or debris causes the slow leak, we carry out the full BS AU 159 repair process.
We remove the foreign object as part of the repair process, not before. The object is extracted only once the tyre is off the rim, and we are ready to repair. We measure the puncture diameter to confirm it falls within the 6mm repairable limit before proceeding.
If the tyre cannot be repaired under BS AU 159, we replace it on the same visit. We carry a range of tyre sizes in the van. We will not leave you stranded because a repair was not possible. If replacement is needed, we discuss your options budget, mid-range, and premium brands are all available and fit the correct tyre at your location.
Every repaired tyre is rebalanced before it is returned to the vehicle. A repair slightly changes the tyre's weight distribution. Without rebalancing, you will notice vibration at speed. We carry calibrated wheel balancing equipment on every van.
We inspect the valve stem on every call-out. A faulty valve is one of the most common causes of slow punctures. If the valve is compromised, we replace it before refitting the tyre.
Many vehicles on UK roads have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. After a puncture repair or tyre replacement, the TPMS sensor must be checked and reset. We carry the equipment to do this on-site.
Every visit ends with a tyre pressure check across all four wheels and a visual inspection of tyre condition, tread depth, and valve condition. You leave with a complete picture of your tyre health, not just the one that was repaired.
A puncture does not happen at a convenient time or a convenient place. Our service reaches you wherever you are in the UK at any hour of the day or night.
Woken up to a flat tyre? Come out to a slow puncture that went flat overnight? We come to your home address anywhere in the UK. You do not need to arrange recovery or work out how to get the vehicle to a garage on a flat tyre. We carry out full repairs or replacements of your driveway.
A puncture on a public road requires a safe response. Pull to the safest available position, turn on your hazard lights, and call us. We come to your exact location on the roadside and repair on-site. You do not need to move the vehicle.
A tyre failure at speed on a fast road is dangerous. Get to the hard shoulder or emergency refuge area. Call us with the road name and the last junction number you passed. Motorway and dual-carriageway call-outs are dispatched as the highest priority in our system.
Noticed a flat tyre during the working day? We attend workplaces, office car parks, business parks, and industrial estates across the UK. You stay at your desk. We will repair the car park and let you know when the vehicle is ready.
Come back to a flat tyre after shopping? We cover multi-storey and surface-level car parks, retail parks, and shopping centre car parks across the UK. Give us the location name and your level or bay number, and we'll find you.
A puncture in a hotel, airport, or station car park is particularly problematic if you are far from home with no local contacts. We cover hotel car parks, airport long-stay and short-stay car parks, and station car parks across the UK. One call and we dispatch to your location.
If you have pulled into a petrol station or lay-by after noticing a tyre problem, we will come to you there. You do not need to move the vehicle or attempt to drive it further.
Step 1:
Tell us your location, vehicle details, and the issue you are experiencing. A postcode, road name, motorway junction, or nearby landmark is enough for us to find you quickly.
Step 2:
We identify the correct tyre specification and assess whether the puncture is likely repairable. Before any technician is dispatched, we provide you with a clear, upfront quote with no hidden charges.
Step 3:
The closest available technician heads directly to your location with the repair equipment and replacement tyre options already loaded in the van. We provide a confirmed ETA before the call ends.
We inspect the tyre internally, carry out the puncture repair or replacement, rebalance the wheel, check all four tyre pressures, and complete a final safety inspection before you drive away.
When a tyre loses pressure, most drivers want the same thing: a safe repair completed quickly, honestly, and without being pushed into an unnecessary replacement. That is exactly how we operate.
When a tyre goes flat, the instinct is to head to a garage. For most drivers in most situations, that instinct is wrong. Here is how the two options compare.
| Factors | Mobile Puncture Repair | Traditional Garage |
|---|---|---|
| Come to you? | Yes, anywhere in the UK | No, you must get there |
| Available 24/7? | Yes, every hour, every day | Rarely limited hours |
| Recovery needed? | No, fixed at your location | Often yes, additional cost |
| Wait time | Confirmed arrival window given | Walk-in queue unknown wait |
| Risk of rim damage? | None fixed where you are | Yes, driving on flat to get there |
| BS AU 159 compliant? | Yes always | Yes, most garages |
| No call-out fee? | Yes, no hidden charges | Not applicable |
| Bank holidays? | Yes, 365 days per year | Limited check per garage |
We carry the correct equipment and tyre stock for all common vehicle types on UK roads. Whatever you drive, we arrive prepared for the job.
Cars: All Makes and Models
Hatchbacks, saloons, estates, coupes, and city cars, we cover all common tyre sizes, tread patterns, and speed ratings. We carry a wide range of passenger vehicle tyres and can repair or replace them on the same visit.
Vans and Light Commercial Vehicles
Commercial van tyres are standard, including single- and dual-rear-wheel configurations. A van off the road costs money, which is why commercial call-outs are prioritised for fast response.
SUVs and 4x4s
SUVs and 4x4s use larger load-rated tyres, including run-flat equipped models. We carry a range of SUV and 4×4 sizes, as well as the specialist equipment required for these vehicles.
Electric Vehicles
EV tyres carry higher load ratings to support battery weight and lower rolling resistance requirements. We carry EV-compatible tyre sizes and assess EV puncture repairs carefully in line with BS AU 159 criteria.
Hybrid Vehicles
Many hybrid vehicles use low-rolling-resistance tyres matched to the vehicle’s efficiency targets. We advise on the correct tyre specification before dispatch.
Performance Vehicles
Performance tyres often carry W, Y, or ZR speed ratings. We confirm speed-rating compatibility before repair or replacement and correctly handle directional and asymmetric tyre fitments as standard.
MPVs and People Carriers
We cover all common MPV and people carrier tyre sizes used across the UK. Stock availability is confirmed before dispatch.
Run-Flat Equipped Vehicles
Run-flat tyres can only be repaired under strict conditions. If the tyre has been driven flat beyond its operational limit, it requires replacement. We assess run-flat repair eligibility honestly on arrival.
In many cases, a puncture repair costs significantly less than replacing the tyre entirely. That is why we always assess whether the tyre is safely repairable before recommending a replacement.
| The Final Cost Depends On | What We Will Never Do |
|---|---|
| Whether the tyre can be repaired or needs replacing | Change the quoted price once the technician arrives |
| The type and location of the damage | Push a tyre replacement when a safe repair is possible |
| Vehicle type and tyre size | Add hidden call-out fees or unexpected charges |
| Whether the vehicle uses run-flat, EV, or performance tyres | Carry out temporary external plug repairs instead of a proper internal repair |
| If the puncture falls within the BS AU 159 repair criteria, we repair at a fraction of the cost of a replacement tyre. |
We accept:
We keep pricing clear and honest from start to finish with no hidden fees, surprise charges, or unnecessary upselling.
No. A puncture can only be repaired if it meets BS AU 159 criteria, including damage location, puncture size, and tyre condition.
If the puncture falls outside safe repair criteria, we replace the tyre during the same visit using stock carried in the van.
