Put the two costs next to each other. On one side, a puncture mended tonight, exactly where the car stands, on a tyre that is still worth mending. On the other, a new tyre tomorrow, because the car covered two miles on a flat to reach somebody who was open, plus a recovery charge if it never got there. That is the genuine choice at midnight and it is not a close one. Working nights is not about heroics, it is about catching a tyre while it can still be saved: off the wheel, casing read from inside, hole cleaned out, patched to BS AU 159, balanced and bolted back on.
The night before an MOT is a popular time to find a puncture. We come out at that hour to the Creek area or wherever the car is parked, take the wheel off, inspect the casing from the inside and fit a proper internal plug-patch where the damage permits. A tight terrace in New Cross or a narrow bay on Creek Road is usually workable. Steep camber in New Cross? We move a few metres, Greenwich or anywhere else. SE8 takes in Evelyn and the Creek area, and we work the lot.

Traffic pouring along the A200 and the A2 drags grit and dropped fixings into the side streets, and that is what ends up in tyres in SE8. Almost all of it lands in the tread rather than the wall, which is the good news, because tread damage is the sort a proper repair is designed for.
The surfaces around there break up faster than they get relaid, and what comes loose ends up in tyres. Late finishers find it when they park. There is nothing to be gained by waiting until the shops open, and quite a bit to be lost.
A car with a flat in a residents' bay is a car that cannot be moved without damaging a wheel. That is the classic stuck situation here, and the only sensible answer is somebody arriving with the equipment rather than you trying to reach it.
Some punctures hold their air for a fortnight before anything happens. Then the object works loose slightly and the pressure goes overnight. The good news is that a tyre which has never been driven flat is almost always repairable when we get to it.
The tyre goes fully flat, you drive on it because you have to, and the inner liner tears itself up in the first half mile. At that point a repairable puncture has become a purchase.
No. Everything needed travels with us, including the balancer. You are not running an extension lead out of a window at two in the morning.
From the outside, barely. From inside the tyre it is an obvious neat patch, which is what a tester would want to see. It is meant to be visible on inspection, just not from the road.
Anything damaged in the shoulder or the wall, anything driven flat far enough to wreck the liner, and anything already carrying a repair too close to the new one. In each case you get the reason, not just the refusal.
365 days a year, and the holidays are among the busiest, largely because everything else has shut. It is the same job and the same standard as any other night.
