Night calls in W4 come from three sorts of driver. Somebody home late who has spotted a tyre going down and has an early start ahead. Somebody who has just come off the A4 (Great West Road) and turned into the first residential street with damage picked up at speed. And somebody who has been aware of a slow leak for a fortnight and has finally lost patience with forecourt airlines.
All three get identical treatment. The wheel is lifted off, the bead is broken and the tyre parted from its rim, the liner is studied for the harm an outside glance will never reveal, the channel is reamed clean, a plug and patch is bonded in to BS AU 159, and the assembly is put back into balance before it is torqued home. What nobody gets is a string plug or a can of foam: one ignores the cut cords entirely, the other coats the sensor and usually ends the tyre. Doing all this at three in the morning on a quiet street off Chiswick High Road is considerably easier than three in the afternoon, when the same street has a bus, a delivery stop and a queue behind it.
Working at night is easier in one respect: the roads are quiet. A job on Great West Road that would be awkward at five in the afternoon is straightforward at two in the morning. The Grove Park phone and the Turnham Green phone ring the same fitter, any hour. Midnight in Turnham Green, midday in Bedford Park, the same call either way. The W4 postcode and a street in Gunnersbury: that is enough.

The streets around Turnham Green and Grove Park are tight, permit controlled and full by evening, so a car with a flat is effectively stuck in its space until somebody comes to it. Working overnight means the repair happens when the road is empty and your bay is still yours in the morning.
Something sharp collected at speed, then a careful exit and a stop on a side street. The driver did the right thing by getting off the main road before the tyre went fully down. Central damage, still holding pressure, so it was mended rather than replaced.
Pressure warning every few days, air put in at a forecourt each time, and nobody had ever taken the tyre off the wheel to look. The object was a staple. Ten seconds to find once the casing was in water, and a permanent repair afterwards.
Narrow road, cars either side, and a tyre that had emptied itself overnight. There was just enough room to work with the car where it stood. It was repaired, balanced and back on well before the street woke up and the space became precious.
Yes, every night of the year including Christmas. Overnight is one of the easiest times to fit around here because the roads are clear and there is somewhere to stand beside the car.
Because a soft tyre rarely survives the wait. Driving it even a mile in the morning traffic destroys the liner, and a tyre that was repairable at midnight becomes a purchase by nine.
Only briefly. We need access to the car and somewhere to put the jack. Plenty of people hand over the keys, go back inside and find the job finished when they look out.
A repair carried out to BS AU 159 is the recognised standard method, which is what manufacturers expect to see. What causes trouble is a plug rammed in from the outside or a casing swimming in sealant.
Not for us, and it is the norm on newer cars. It simply means there is no temporary option, so getting the actual tyre mended or replaced where the car sits is the only route back on the road.
