Alloy wheel refurbishment in Sidcup

Sidcup is about fifty minutes from us via the crossing. It is a comfortable DA14 and DA15 postcode with a lot of newer cars on diamond-cut wheels, which is our speciality and something very few places nearby can do properly. If your wheels have gone cloudy or grey under the lacquer, that is diamond-cut corrosion and it needs a lathe, not a polish.

We are not a mobile service — Sidcup 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 47 minutes and 31 miles from Sidcup. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Sidcup

A20 to the M25 and the crossing, then A13 east and A132 north. Around fifty minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 31 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 Sidcup customers do exactly that.

The High Street bays and the parking around the station are tight. The A20 approaches are worn and patched, which accounts for the buckles we see from DA14.

What we do for Sidcup 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.
