Leaving a flat until the morning feels like the sensible, grown-up decision. It usually is not. The tyre you have tonight, sitting still with a nail in it and most of its air, is a tyre that can be repaired. The tyre you will have tomorrow, after two miles of driving to somewhere with a ramp, often is not, because running soft folds the sidewall and scrubs the inner liner and that damage cannot be undone.
There is a local argument for night work too. Blackwall Lane and the approach to the tunnel queue for much of the day, and at eleven at night we can be with you far quicker than we could at eleven in the morning. Same repair, same standard, less waiting.
Most of the punctures we repair out of hours were picked up hours earlier and only noticed on the way to bed. A nail picked up on the A200 does not deflate to a timetable. Blocked drive in Westcombe Park? Open kerb in Maze Hill? Either works. Which street in Maze Hill, which way the car sits in Blackheath, and we are set.

Night calls suit this part of SE10 unusually well. The tourist traffic has gone, the buses on Trafalgar Road have thinned out and the parked streets around the town centre are quiet enough to work in safely, which is rarely true at any hour of the working day.
A screw through the tread found when the car was already parked for the night. Off came the wheel, out came the tyre, and a lamp went round the liner before the puncture was opened up and sealed by a combined unit, plug plus patch, to BS AU 159. Balance corrected, wheel refitted.
Pressure fine one day and down the next, and two people had blamed the valve. It was a sliver of metal seated deep in the tread and only findable by stripping the wheel and submerging the casing. Once found, it was a straightforward repair.
Someone due through the tunnel first thing did not fancy their chances of finding anywhere open beforehand. The tyre was repaired the previous evening and the journey went ahead on the original rubber.
Yes, all night and every night including bank holidays. Around here the small hours are often the fastest time for us to reach you, because the tunnel approach is finally moving.
It is easier and it is usually a mistake. The foam smears itself over everything inside, commonly kills the valve sensor, and can end any chance of a proper repair. We neither carry it nor recommend it.
Anything in the sidewall or the shoulder, and anything where the inside of the casing has been destroyed by being driven flat. Only a hole in the flat centre of the tread is repairable to standard.
No. Tell us where it is standing and we work there, whether that is a street off the A200 or a driveway in Blackheath.
Done before anything is refitted. A patch shifts weight around the rim, and you would notice that at very ordinary speeds on Blackwall Lane.
