Is it genuinely worth dragging somebody out at two in the morning for a puncture? Yes, and the reason is not convenience. It is that the tyre can still be saved at two in the morning. Come daylight, somebody drives it half a mile towards Lewisham to find a garage, the sidewalls fold in on themselves at every rotation, and the casing is ruined by the time the car arrives. Then you are buying rubber rather than paying for a patch. Nobody sets out to destroy a tyre; they simply do not know that the destruction happens in the first few hundred yards.
The morning is what an overnight repair actually buys you. We do the third, right across Greater London, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. From Catford Broadway to Bellingham, at whatever hour the call lands. A Hither Green cul-de-sac or a Southend main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Rushey Green or a narrow bay on Bromley Road is usually workable. The SE6 postcode and a street in Rushey Green: that is enough.

The point of a two in the morning call out around here is simple arithmetic: a tyre saved is worth more than the sleep. We work at the kerb across SE6 and out towards Sydenham, take the casing off the rim to look at it properly, and take the rubbish away afterwards. No aerosol, no string plugs, no pretending.
A21 traffic sheds screws and bolts constantly, and plenty of them are still lying there when the next car comes past. This one sat squarely in the tread with the casing untouched inside. Reamed, sealed with a plug and patch, wheel weighted, back on that night.
The aerosol in the boot coats the whole inner liner and nothing will bond to it afterwards. It also has a habit of finishing off the pressure sensor. If you have already used it, say so on the phone and we will arrive expecting the mess.
A resident near Hither Green spotted a soft front at eleven at night and picked up the phone there and then. That decision is what kept the tyre. Ten hours later, driven on, the same puncture would have been a purchase.
It goes in from the inside. The tyre leaves the rim, the casing is examined, the hole is cleaned out and then a combined unit seals the hole and reinforces the liner behind it, made to BS AU 159. Nothing about that is a get you home measure.
The figure is settled with you before anybody sets off, and it is the same conversation at midnight as at midday. We run round the clock every day of the year, so odd hours are ordinary hours here.
Sometimes, if the two punctures are well separated and both fall within the permitted zone. Sometimes not. It is measured on the tyre rather than decided over the phone.
Often, though cold weather and a slow natural loss also set it off. Either way it is worth a look, because a small leak found early is the cheapest tyre problem there is.
Yes, on site, every time. Taking rubber off a rim and putting it back moves the balance point, so the wheel gets spun and weighted before it goes on the car.
