The roads that skirt the Heath have almost no street lighting, and at night that is a genuinely different working environment from a lit residential street. You cannot judge a sidewall, you cannot see the jacking point properly, and you certainly cannot tell whether the ground under the jack is solid tarmac or the soft edge where it meets the verge. People try anyway, with a phone torch in their teeth, and it goes wrong more often than it should.
We run every night across NW3, which around here mostly means arriving with lighting rather than arriving with tyres. Proper work lamps change what is possible: the tread can actually be inspected, so a repairable puncture gets repaired rather than replaced on a guess, and the jack goes where it should. Tell us where you have stopped, stay in the car if you are away from traffic or well clear if you are not, and we will come out to it. Repairs and replacements alike, on cars, SUVs and 4x4s, with the darkness costing you nothing.
Half the value of a 24-hour service is simply that somebody picks up. Ours dispatches: phone answered, van sent, work done where the car is standing, on Rosslyn Hill or on a driveway, with a live ETA so the wait has a number on it. The wheel comes off in Belsize Park, not on a ramp in Camden. Nothing is towed out of South End Green or Gospel Oak; the work finishes there.

Hampstead has steep conservation streets on one side and unlit Heath roads on the other, and both are awkward places to be stationary after dark. What makes the difference on a night call is not speed so much as equipment: light on the work area, a solid footing for the jack, and the right tyre already on the van.
A car stopped on East Heath Road with no lamp within sight. Under our lights the puncture turned out to be a small nail in the middle of the tread, which was not obvious by phone torch.
A vehicle parked half on the soft edge near Hampstead Heath. In daylight nobody would have jacked there. In the dark it looked like solid ground until we lit it.
Someone leaving the Royal Free Hospital late at night with a flat in the car park. We met them there rather than leaving the car until the morning.
Because most of the decisions are visual. Whether a sidewall is bulging, whether a cut has reached the belt, whether the jack is on solid ground. In the dark all three become guesses.
On an unlit road, we would not. Between the ground you cannot see and traffic that cannot see you, it is the situation where roadside wheel changes most often go wrong.
Yes, at any hour. Give us as precise a location as you can, since the unlit stretches all look similar and a landmark saves everyone time.
No. Same figure at three in the morning as at three in the afternoon, quoted before we set off.
