Half the people who ring us at four in the morning are not stranded, they are simply awake. Acton runs on shifts, with the estates around North Acton and Park Royal working through the night and drivers coming off late finishes into permit streets that are finally quiet enough to park in. A tyre found soft at the end of a shift is not an emergency in the dramatic sense, but it will absolutely ruin the sleep you were about to get.
So we treat it as ordinary work. The van comes out with its own lighting, the wheel comes off wherever the car sits, the tyre comes off the rim and the puncture is sealed from the inside to BS AU 159, then balanced and refitted. Twenty-odd minutes and the car is ready for whenever you next need it. We are out 24 hours a day, all year, and a night call in W3 is usually reached faster than a daytime one because nothing is in the way.
A lot of the calls that come in at eleven at night start with the phrase "I only noticed when I got home". The nail went in hours earlier, the tyre held most of its air, and it is only under a streetlight in East Acton that it looks obviously flat. By morning it will be flatter, and by the time you are late for something it will be undriveable. So we come out then: wheel off, tyre off the rim, inside inspected, a repair to British Standard where the damage sits inside the limits. Where it cannot be repaired, a replacement goes on.

Acton is a working district with more stations than almost anywhere in London and traffic moving through it at every hour, and the permit streets that are impossible at six in the evening are the easiest place in the world to work at three in the morning. A puncture found at the end of a shift is worth closing out before you sleep. Leave it and the tyre is usually beyond saving by the time you wake.
A worker finishing at Park Royal came out to a tyre almost flat. It was repaired in the yard before the drive home rather than risked on the A40.
A driver got back to a permit street in South Acton at two to find a screw in the tread. Sealed on the spot, no need to move the car at all.
A soft tyre found before a five o'clock start off the Uxbridge Road. We were there before the traffic, and the day went ahead unchanged.
Yes, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Night work here is routine rather than exceptional, particularly around the estates that run late shifts.
We work as quietly as the job allows and use our own lighting rather than leaning on horns and headlights. Tight residential streets across East Acton are handled with that in mind.
Exactly the same. Tyre off the rim, internal plug and patch to BS AU 159, balanced and refitted. Nothing is trimmed because of the hour.
No. One figure agreed before we set off, unchanged for the time of day, taken by card at the vehicle when the work is finished.
Often quicker than daytime. With the Uxbridge Road and the A40 empty, 30 to 60 minutes is a comfortable estimate anywhere in W3.
