Cold nights lower tyre pressures, and it catches people out every autumn. Air contracts as the temperature drops, so a tyre set correctly on a mild afternoon can read noticeably low after a frosty night, and on cars with pressure monitoring that is when the dashboard light appears for the first time. Plenty of the calls we take on the first cold nights of the year are exactly that rather than a puncture.
It is worth knowing, because it changes what you should do. If the light comes on after a cold snap and the tyre looks normal, it may only need topping up. If it is going down repeatedly, cold weather is not the explanation and something is wrong. Either way we can come out and settle it, day or night, all year. Where there is a genuine puncture the tyre comes off the rim and is sealed from the inside to BS AU 159, balanced and refitted with the pressures set properly.
An overnight repair follows exactly the same standard as a daytime one, and it is worth being clear about that. Where the damage falls outside the standard you get told at that hour and a replacement goes on from the van, on the drive in Old Town or wherever the car is. Old tyres leave Old Town, New Town and Buckinghamshire with us, every time. You watch it happen in Holtspur, or at the kerb in Knotty Green.

The Chiltern nights around Beaconsfield get properly cold, and the first hard frost of the season reliably produces a run of pressure warnings from cars parked out on the roads towards Knotty Green and Holtspur. Most are weather and some are punctures, and telling them apart matters because one needs a pump and the other needs the tyre off the rim. We come out at any hour and we will tell you honestly which of the two you have.
A driver in Knotty Green had a warning light appear overnight in October. No puncture, simply cold, and the pressures were reset.
A light that kept returning on a car in Holtspur was a slow puncture rather than the weather. It was found and sealed.
A flat found before an early start off Burkes Road. Repaired before dawn, with the pressures set from the door plate.
Not necessarily. Air contracts as it cools, so a correctly set tyre can read low after a frost. If it keeps happening, though, something else is going on.
Enough to trigger a warning on a system that was already near its threshold. It is a real effect rather than a sensor fault, and topping up usually resolves it.
If the tyre is visibly low or going down, yes. If it looks normal and the weather turned, it may only need air, and we will tell you that on the phone.
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including through frost and bank holidays, with our own lighting and full repair kit on the van.
No. One agreed figure before anyone sets off, unchanged by the hour or the weather, taken by card at the vehicle.
