Checks that we conduct before a puncture repair Cambridge
Please note that it is not possible scientifically to repair all tyres and all types of punctures. Therefore, to maintain safety standards, we conduct checks on a number of parameters, like:
- Tread depth of the damaged tyre is at least 1.6 mm
- Damage from puncture is not more than 6mm in size
- There are no cracks in the rubber
- There are no exposed chords
- The structural integrity of the tyre is intact, etc.
Please note: Tyres Cambridge that have previously been treated with a DIY puncture repair kit must not be repaired.
Run-flat tyres are also not safe for repairs and must be replaced once punctured.
If your car's tyre meets these standard requirements, we will conduct our services of puncture repair Cambridge, or else, we will ask you to opt for a tyre replacement for utmost safety.
Our puncture repairing
There are three efficient puncture repair methods which our experts follow. These are:
- External tyre repair with strings.
- Internal damage repair with a rubber patch.
- A combined plug and patch method for advanced interior repair.
We implement this process as per the BS AU 159 guidelines, which include the following steps (for plug and patch):
- We will first remove your car's tyre from the wheel and carry out a detailed inspection.
- Next, we will locate and mark the affected area
- After this, we will prepare a puncture channel using a 6mm carbide mill cutter from the inside of the tyre. We will repeat this process from the outside as well
- Next, we will thoroughly clean the damaged area using a pre-buff cleaner and repair scraper.
- Following this, we will hold the patch in position and mark its outline on the inner liner. Then, we will buff the inner liner with a dome buffing rasp. This will flatten any raised ribs.
- Next, we will apply a special vulcanising accelerator solution into the buffed area and puncture channel.
- We will then insert the combination of plug and patch into the puncture channel and pull it outward until the damaged portion is adequately sealed.
- Next, we will seal the plug and patch base and buffed area with an advanced sealant.
- Finally, we will cut the stem of the tyre repair patch from the tread, put the tyre back on the rim and re-inflate it to the optimal level
Therefore, look no further and avail our advanced puncture repairs Cambridge.
