Almost nobody watches a puncture being repaired, which is why so many people think it means a squirt of glue and a rubber worm pushed into the hole. It does not.
Here is the actual sequence. The wheel is removed from the car and the tyre is separated from the rim, because the only way to judge a puncture honestly is from the inside. The liner is inspected for the tearing that shows a tyre has been run soft. If it is clean, the hole is reamed out until the rubber around it is clean, and a plug and patch unit is bonded through it from inside, to BS AU 159. The tyre goes back on the rim, the assembly is balanced on the machine, and the wheel is torqued up to the manufacturer's setting. That whole process is what makes a repair permanent and legal, and it is the same process at three in the morning on Friern Barnet Road as it is at three in the afternoon.
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 New Southgate or wherever the car is. Old tyres leave Whetstone, Friary Park and N11 with us, every time. You watch it happen in New Southgate, or at the kerb in Colney Hatch. From North Middlesex Golf Club through Whetstone to Friary Park, it is one round.

High mileage commuting off Woodhouse Road and Colney Hatch Lane means punctures turn up at every hour of the night, and there is nothing open to take them to. We come out to the driveway or the kerb and repair the tyre properly rather than patching it up until morning.
Came back to a car near the Town Hall with a rear tyre almost down. Repaired on the street at midnight instead of being left to soften overnight and be driven on at seven.
A previous owner had jammed a repair worm in from the outside and never taken the tyre off. It had been seeping ever since. We stripped it down, checked the liner and did the job properly.
A screw found in the tread after a round, with everything local closed. Central position, clean hole, sealed and balanced there, and the car went home on its own tyre.
Because you cannot see the damage that matters without taking the tyre off, and an external plug seals nothing at the liner. It is why the standard does not recognise them and testers mark them.
We do, all year round. Night calls are common and the roads round the A406 are clear then, so we tend to be with you quickly.
Yes, because it is put back on the balancer afterwards. Skipping that step is what produces a vibration at 60 that nobody can explain.
More than one, provided the repairs are properly spaced and all sit within the permitted area. There comes a point where a replacement is the more sensible purchase and we will say so.
N11 and everywhere around it: New Southgate, Colney Hatch, Whetstone and over into Finchley. Distance is not the issue, access to the car is.
