Eight miles away, RM1 and RM2
Alloy Wheel Repair in Romford
Wheel Repair Ltd refurbishes alloy wheels at its workshop on Nursery Lane in Forest Gate, about eight miles from Romford. That is the furthest we cover, and we will say plainly when it is not worth the journey. For a full set, a machined face or trade volume, it is one trip and worth doing properly.
Why Romford drivers use us
Wheels are refinished properly, not touched up on the kerb.
Faces re-machined on a lathe, not painted over.
Eight miles is a long way for a job somebody nearer could do. Send a photograph and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth the trip.
What people say
The damage we see most in Romford
Trade stock off London Road. There is a lot of motor trade through Romford, and a car coming in for retail with four kerbed wheels is a different job from a private customer with one. It is a set, done as a set.
Multi storey ramps in the town centre. The shopping car parks have tight turns and unpainted concrete kerbs. A wheel that catches one takes a flat bite out of the rim edge.
Eastern Avenue and the ring road. Fast, busy and patched. This is where the buckles come from, and you feel them through the steering before you see anything.

Romford is about eight miles from Nursery Lane and it is the edge of what we cover. For a single painted wheel we will usually tell you to find someone closer, because eight miles each way for one rim helps nobody. Where it does make sense is a full set, a diamond cut face that has to go on a lathe, or trade work that comes down as a batch. Gidea Park and the streets off it mostly have driveways, so a painted finish can be done on site.
Common questions
Do you cover Romford, RM1 and RM2?
Yes, although it is the furthest we go. The workshop is on Nursery Lane in Forest Gate, about eight miles away, and we cover Romford town, Gidea Park and the streets around them.
Is eight miles worth it for one wheel?
Usually not, and we will say so rather than take the booking. For a set of four, a machined face, or trade volume, it is one trip and worth doing properly.
Do you do trade and fleet work in Romford?
Yes, and that is most of what makes the distance work. Stock comes down as a batch and goes back finished. Ask about an account.
I have a driveway in Gidea Park. Can you come out?
For a painted finish, usually yes, where there is level ground and room to work round the car. A diamond cut face has to go on the lathe at the workshop.
My wheels are diamond cut and one is kerbed. What is involved?
The face is re-machined on a lathe and lacquered again, which is the only way to put a machined finish back properly. It is a workshop job, so the wheel comes to us.
What do you need from me to give a price?
A photo of each damaged wheel taken straight on in daylight, and the make and model of the car. That is normally enough for a written price.
Can I bring just the wheels down?
Yes, and from Romford it is usually the sensible answer. Put them in the boot on your spares and bring them on their own.
Do you cover Dagenham and Ilford too?
Yes, both, and both are closer to the workshop than Romford is.
