Alloy wheel refurbishment in Rochford

Rochford is under twenty minutes from the unit and a regular on the books. Being next to Southend Airport, we get a fair bit of trade-adjacent work from here — hire fleets, airport parking cars that have picked up damage, and a steady flow of private owners who want a set tidied before a sale. Turnaround matters to those customers, and standard powder-coated wheels in by nine will usually be ready the same day.

We are not a mobile service — Rochford customers come to us. Everything is done at our Wickford unit (Unit 40, Andersons Industrial Estate, SS12 9EJ). We do not offer collection or mobile visits, so you make your own way here — about 18 minutes and 9 miles from Rochford. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Rochford

B1013 through Hockley and Rayleigh, then A129 into Wickford. Around eighteen minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 9 miles is an awkward round trip to do twice, bring the wheels loose instead: four in the back of an estate or a van works perfectly well, and plenty of our Rochford customers do exactly that.

The airport approach roads and the long-stay car park entries are full of high, square kerbs. If your car has been parked at Southend for a fortnight and come back with a fresh scuff, join the queue — it happens constantly.

What we do for Rochford cars

Everything happens at Unit 40 — nothing is sent away and nothing is subcontracted. That matters most for the two jobs a mobile repairer genuinely cannot do: diamond cutting, which needs a CNC lathe, and crack welding, which needs a TIG set and a pressure test.

Full refurbishment — chemically stripped to bare metal, repaired, powder coated and oven-cured. From £75 a wheel.
Diamond cutting — on our own lathe, with a corrosion-inhibiting lacquer. The fix for wheels that have gone cloudy or milky.
Crack repair — veed out, TIG welded, machined back and pressure-tested. A cracked wheel is an MOT failure.
Buckle straightening — runout measured, not guessed. This is what that vibration at 60 usually is.
Caliper painting — calipers off the car, stripped and coated properly. The obvious moment to do it is while the wheels are already off.
Locking nut removal — no key needed. From £20 per wheel.

We also run the tuning side out of the same unit — Stage 1 remapping written for your exact engine, plus proper DPF and AdBlue diagnosis. Check what your car should make.
