Weigh the two options against each other properly. The first is to leave a flat until daylight, drive it across NW1 to whoever can fit you in, sit about, and stand a decent chance of being told the drive itself finished the tyre off. The second is that somebody reaches the car tonight, while the tyre is still worth saving.
The second one is cheaper, and not because of what anybody charges. It is cheaper because of what the first one does to the rubber. A puncture that landed centrally stays mendable for as long as pressure keeps the casing in shape. Roll two miles along Kentish Town Road on a soft one and the inner liner grinds itself apart, which is permanent and often invisible until somebody unseats the tyre and looks. So the wheel comes away, the rubber is broken off the rim, the inner casing gets a proper look under a lamp, and the hole is reamed out and closed with a patch and plug made to BS AU 159. Balanced, refitted, done. At any hour, including the long stretch when nothing else in the area is open.
Early starts are the other half of the overnight work. Half four in the morning, car loaded, and a tyre that has quietly gone down since you parked it in Kentish Town. There is no time to find a garage and no sense in setting off on it. A Primrose Hill driveway is our workshop, and so is a Kentish Town kerb. Old tyres leave Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and NW1 with us, every time. NW1 takes in Regent's Park and Primrose Hill, and we work the lot.

Camden sits inside the ULEZ and the traffic rarely moves, so two journeys to sort out one puncture is a poor trade. We drive the fitting van to the car instead, from the streets around Camden Town out towards Islington, and the wheel never leaves your postcode. Old tyres and rubbish go away with us.
Someone home very late near Camden Market found the front tyre almost down and rang rather than gamble. A tack, centrally placed, casing untouched. Repaired properly that night, and the same tyre is still on the car.
Sealant buys you a few miles and usually costs the tyre. The liner ends up coated in the stuff and no patch will stick to it, and the pressure sensor inside often does not survive either. Mention it when you ring so we come prepared.
A driver near Primrose Hill had been told a puncture meant replacing the pair. The tread on both measured well clear of the limit and the damage sat squarely in the repairable band, so one mend settled it. Saying so costs us a sale and keeps a customer.
Permanent. A plug fills the hole and a patch reinforces the liner behind it, bonded as one unit. Done to the BS AU 159 standard the tyre goes back into normal service and stays there for the rest of its life.
We do, all year round. There is less traffic and easier access at that hour, which usually means we reach the car faster than we would at nine.
In normal circumstances yes, because the tyre comes off the rim carefully rather than being torn away. Sensors are more often killed by sealant or by being run flat than by the repair itself.
Because the plug goes in blind. Nothing has looked at the inside of the casing, so damage that has already been done goes unnoticed, and water travels down the hole to the steel belts. It is a roadside bodge, not a fix.
Every time. Removing and refitting rubber alters where the weight sits around a wheel, and leaving that unsorted produces the sort of hum at thirty that turns into a shake at fifty.
