Trusted by drivers from Blofield (NR13) and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage is just 6 miles east of Blofield via the A47 and Blofield Corner Road.
Agricultural traffic around Blofield deposits mud and debris on B1140 lanes that packs into wheel rims and alters rotational balance over time. The A47 commute then exposes the problem as a vibration through the steering or floor at higher speeds. We use computerised balancing equipment to measure and correct imbalance on all four wheels, with adhesive or clip-on weights matched to your wheel type for a clean, accurate result.
Blofield sits on the A47 and the village has seen considerable new housing construction in recent years. Construction HGVs travelling to and from development sites have taken a toll on local roads and the A47 approaches - rough surfaces and temporary patching create the kind of sudden impacts that knock balancing weights off rims. Once a weight is dislodged, vibration typically appears at 50-70mph, which is exactly the speed Blofield drivers reach on the nearby A47.
We re-balance wheels using computerised equipment that identifies even the smallest weight discrepancy, correcting the vibration that develops after impact events on construction-route roads around Blofield. If a rim has been damaged by a significant impact, we'll advise you before fitting new weights. Call 07933 900901 to arrange a convenient time; from Blofield head west on the A47 for 6 miles to reach our Ber Street garage.
Blofield drivers rely on us for accurate balancing work that eliminates vibration and keeps tyres wearing evenly mile after mile.
Leave Blofield on the A47 westbound and exit at the Thorpe St Andrew junction, then follow Thorpe Road westbound into the city centre. The trip is around 8 miles and takes roughly 12 minutes. Ber Street is centrally located, on-street parking is usually available, or use the Castle Mall car park a short walk away.
The varied road surface quality between Blofield and Norwich means vehicles from Blofield experience a mix of well-maintained A-road and rougher B-road sections. Pothole impacts and the surface changes at parish boundaries are a common cause of weight displacement on the B1140 and the connecting B-roads.
We use computerised dynamic balancing equipment, which measures imbalance in both the static and dynamic planes simultaneously. Small weights are attached to the rim at precisely calculated positions to counteract the imbalance. The process takes 15 to 20 minutes per wheel and should be repeated whenever vibration returns, typically every 12,000 miles or after any significant kerb strike or pothole impact.
Wheel balancing is included as standard with every tyre fitting at our garage. For Blofield drivers whose wheels are already fitted but showing vibration, we offer standalone balancing at a competitive rate. Vibration at speed is not just uncomfortable, it is a sign of tyre wear being distributed unevenly, shortening tyre life measurably. Call 07933 900901 to book a balancing check, which takes under an hour from arrival to driving away.
Balancing all four wheels typically takes 30-45 minutes. We use computerised balancing equipment that precisely identifies where weight needs to be added.
Yes, persistent imbalance accelerates uneven tyre wear and puts additional stress on wheel bearings, steering components and suspension joints. What starts as minor vibration can contribute to more expensive repairs if left.
Yes, balancing is included as standard with every tyre fit. We don't charge separately for balancing when it's part of a fitting job.
Yes, misaligned wheels create additional rolling resistance as tyres scrub sideways. Correcting alignment can improve fuel economy measurably, particularly on high-mileage vehicles. The fuel savings over time can offset the cost of the alignment itself.
We recommend checking alignment annually or every 12,000 miles, after any significant pothole impact, and whenever fitting new tyres. On vehicles used on rough or rural roads, more frequent checks may be beneficial.
