At one in the morning there are only three ways this ends, and working out which one takes about five minutes at the car. Either the tyre gets repaired where it stands, or it gets replaced where it stands, or the spot itself is the problem and the car has to move first.
The first branch depends on the damage and on how far the car has been driven soft. A clean object in the middle of the tread on a tyre that stopped promptly is a repair, and it is the same repair as at one in the afternoon. The second depends on stock: the size is taken off the sidewall when you ring, so the tyre is loaded before anybody sets off.
The third branch is the awkward one. A car stopped on a slope, on setts, in a live lane or hard against a wall on its damaged side cannot be lifted safely, and goodwill does not change that. Then the conversation is about how far it can crawl and what the crawl costs the wheel.
Nobody plans a tyre emergency into the diary. We are not: dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, across SE10, and the van carries enough to finish the job on the spot rather than book you in. The Blackheath phone and the Westcombe Park phone ring the same fitter, any hour. Midnight in Maze Hill, midday in Blackheath, the same call either way.

Greenwich at one in the morning is a different place to work in. Darkness we bring our own answer to. The real variable is that a car stops where it stops: the roads climbing away from Blackheath, a fast stretch of Blackwall Lane, or a street behind the town centre parked solid until people leave for work.
A screw found at midnight in a car already parked for the night. It had not been driven on, the hole sat in the middle of the tread and the casing was clean inside. Wheel off, sealed, balanced, back on before one.
A tyre torn open by something in the road near the A2 Blackwall Lane. The size had been read out on the phone, so the replacement came out of the fitting van rather than out of a supplier's morning.
A car stopped where the tunnel approach gives you no room at all. We talked the driver a short way into a side street at walking pace, accepted the rim as the cost, and worked somewhere it was safe to lift a car.
Not honestly. What we can do is load the right size so the second option exists if the first does not, and ask enough about where the car is standing to know whether we can work there. The verdict comes off the tyre once it is off the rim.
Only at walking pace, and only far enough to reach somewhere we can work. Every metre chews the inner liner and the rim takes a beating. That is a fair trade for getting out of traffic and a poor one for reaching a garage.
With our own lighting, which is part of the kit rather than a favour. A puncture cannot be judged by phone torch, so the wheel comes off and the inside of the casing gets looked at properly.
No. There is no night loading and no bank holiday one either. The service runs 24/7 365 and the small hours are ordinary working hours here, so the figure you hear on the phone is the one you would have heard at lunchtime.
