Default Leaking tyre

One of my wheels is leaking air.. Had it checked and it's not a puncture, it seems to not be sealing well as it is loosing air all the way round where the rim meets the tyre... Anybody know of any where I can take this to get fixed..

Aye, get it done sooner rather than later.

Any decent tyre place will remove and reseal it if you ask. Alloys are a sod for it, they get a little bit of corrosion around the inner rim, and it no longer seals.
get them to wire brush it well and reseal with liquid rubber.

You'll pay about £10 as it will need rebalanced.

we normally remove the tyre ,clean the alloy wheel where the tyre seals on the wheel with a wire wheel , add a sealing agent , replace the valve , refit tyre , rebalance and then submerge the wheel in a tank . it works 99.9% of the time depending on the amount of corrosion/pitting on the alloy .

the other option is a full referb

AFAIK it's liquid rubber, similar to what we used to use to mend inner tubes on bikes?
