It is gone eleven at night. You have come off the A1(M) at junction 4, the pressure warning has been on since somewhere back down the carriageway, and there is now an unmistakable flapping from the nearside rear. Nothing is open. The instinct is to press on the last two miles home and deal with it tomorrow.
That instinct costs people tyres. Two miles on a deflated casing tears the inner liner apart, and a puncture that would have taken a twenty minute repair becomes a purchase. Ringing instead gets a fitter to the car where it has stopped. We break the tyre off the rim, look inside the casing under a light, ream the injury out, bond a plug and patch to BS AU 159, rebalance the wheel and put it back on. At midnight it is the same work as at midday, done by the same method, and the difference is only that the tyre is still worth saving.
Round-the-clock only means something if the van carries enough to finish. Ours carries the fitting gear, the balancer, valves, lighting and stock in the common sizes, at every hour right across Hertfordshire. From Old Hatfield to South Hatfield, any night of the year. Valve in Birchwood, balance in Roe Green, pressures before we go. The wheel comes off in Birchwood, not on a ramp in Potters Bar.

Overnight work in Hatfield is mostly on the estate roads and the residential streets, where there is space to put the wheel down and light to work by. If the car has stopped somewhere on the A414 or close to the A1(M) junctions, tell us on the phone; that changes how we position the van and whether we would rather move the car first.
A flint through the tread on a car needed at seven the next morning. The casing had not been run on, so a proper internal repair went in and the original tyre stayed on the car.
Saturday evening puncture with the nearest bookable slot on Tuesday. Two days of not driving, or a repair that night. We came out and did it that night.
A gradual leak the owner had been living with for a fortnight, topping it up on the way past a forecourt. The nail was still seated and the casing was clean inside, so it repaired without argument.
There is no single number, but the repairs must not overlap and there is a sensible limit to how many injuries one casing should carry. If a new puncture sits on top of an old patch, that tyre is done. We look at what is already in there before agreeing to add another.
A rubber stem is drawn through from the inside once the injury has been reamed back to sound material, then a patch goes over the top of it against the inner liner. The stem seals the passage, the patch seals the air. Both parts matter, which is why an outside-only plug is not a repair.
Round the clock, all year, that day included. Tyres are indifferent to the calendar.
Almost never, and we will tell you when it is. A repair keeps a tyre with good tread on the car and keeps the pair on that axle matched, which is worth having in itself.
It helps if you can, mainly so you can see the injury and agree the price, but plenty of people leave a key with a neighbour or meet us at a work car park. Tell us the arrangement when you book.
