Signs You May Have a Puncture
Not every puncture causes an immediate flat tyre. Some leaks are slow and only become obvious after the tyre has lost pressure several times.
​
-
A tyre that repeatedly loses pressure
-
A visible nail, screw or other object in the tread
-
A tyre-pressure warning that returns after inflation
-
One tyre becoming noticeably softer than the others
-
Loss of pressure after striking road debris or a pothole
-
A tyre that is completely flat
-
A hissing sound or obvious air leak
​
If an object such as a nail or screw is still embedded in the tyre, avoid pulling it out before the tyre can be assessed where practical, as removing it may cause the tyre to lose pressure more quickly.
​What Mobile Tyre Fitting Includes
-
Punctures and pressure loss can be caused by a range of road hazards and tyre damage.
-
Nails
-
Screws
-
Glass or sharp fragments
-
Construction debris
-
Sharp stones or metal
-
Road debris
-
Damage following a pothole or impact
-
The cause of pressure loss is not always visible from the outside, so repeated pressure loss should be assessed rather than simply topping the tyre up indefinitely.
Slow Punctures & Repeated Pressure Loss
A slow puncture may take hours or days to become noticeable. Drivers often first spot the problem because one tyre repeatedly needs inflation or a tyre-pressure warning keeps returning.
​
Continuing to drive with low pressure can generate heat, damage the tyre internally and affect handling, braking and tyre wear. A problem that may initially have been repairable can become a replacement tyre if the tyre is driven while seriously underinflated.
​
If one tyre repeatedly loses pressure, arrange an assessment instead of treating frequent inflation as the long-term solution.
When Can a Punctured Tyre Be Repaired?
Whether a punctured tyre can be repaired depends on several factors, including where the damage is located, the size and type of the damage, the overall tyre condition, remaining tread and whether the tyre has suffered internal or structural damage.
​
A repair should only be carried out when the damage is in a repairable area and the tyre remains suitable for continued use.​
When Does a Punctured Tyre Need Replacement?
Replacement is required when the damage cannot be repaired safely or when the tyre has other defects that make continued use unsuitable.
​
-
Sidewall or shoulder damage
-
Severe cuts or impact damage
-
Damage outside the repairable tread area
-
Internal damage after driving on a flat or badly deflated tyre
-
A tyre that is already badly worn or otherwise unsafe
-
Damage that is too large or unsuitable for a repair
​
Where replacement is needed, Brian Robinson Tyres can recommend and fit a suitable tyre for the vehicle.

Mobile Puncture Repair at Home or Work
If the vehicle is safely parked at home or at work, mobile puncture assessment can save an unnecessary trip to a tyre depot.
Where a repair is suitable, the puncture can be dealt with at an appropriate location. If replacement is required instead, a suitable tyre can be supplied and fitted subject to specification and availability.
Roadside Puncture Assistance
If a puncture leaves the vehicle unable to continue safely, contact Brian Robinson Tyres with your exact location, vehicle details and tyre size where possible.
​
Where the tyre can be safely assessed and repaired, puncture repair may be possible. If the tyre is not repairable, roadside replacement may be the appropriate solution where a suitable tyre is available and the location is safe and accessible.
​
On motorways, dual carriageways and busy roads, deal with immediate personal safety first and move to a safe accessible location where possible before arranging tyre work.
Puncture Repairs for Cars, Vans, 4x4s, SUVs & Jeeps
Puncture assessment is available for a wide range of cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, 4x4s, SUVs and jeeps.
The repair decision is based on the tyre and damage rather than simply the type of vehicle. If replacement is required, the correct tyre size and specification still need to be matched to the vehicle.
What Information Should I Send?

-
Vehicle make and model

FAQ
Can every puncture be repaired?
No. Repair depends on the position and extent of the damage, the tyre condition and whether there is any internal or structural damage.
​
Can a sidewall puncture be repaired?
Sidewall and shoulder damage generally require tyre replacement rather than a standard puncture repair.
​
What should I do if there is a nail or screw in the tyre?
Where practical, leave the object in place until the tyre can be assessed. Pulling it out may cause the tyre to lose pressure more quickly.
​
Can you repair a slow puncture?
If the source of the pressure loss is repairable and the tyre remains suitable for use, a repair may be possible.
​
Why does my tyre keep losing pressure?
Repeated pressure loss can be caused by a puncture or another tyre/wheel sealing issue. The cause needs to be identified rather than repeatedly inflating the tyre.
​
Can you come to my home or workplace?
Yes, mobile puncture assessment can be provided at a suitable location where there is safe access and adequate working space.
