Half past one in the morning, street lights on, nothing moving on Blackstock Road, and a car with a nail in it parked outside a house where somebody has to be at work in six hours. That is an ordinary call for us. The tyre comes off the rim there and then, the inside of the casing gets a proper look, and where the damage sits in the central band it is reamed out, plugged and patched to BS AU 159 before the wheel goes back on balanced. The reason for doing this at one in the morning is simple: at one in the morning the tyre is still repairable. Left for the commute and driven soft down towards Highbury Corner, it very often is not.
Nobody wants to be stood over a wheel at four in the morning on Blackstock Road, and with us you are not. You ring, we come out, and the wheel comes off while you sit in the warm, on a driveway in Drayton Park or wherever the car ended up. Whether it is Aberdeen Park in rush hour or Holloway Road A1 at midnight, we answer. On Holloway Road A1, day or night, Aberdeen Park included, arrival across Greater London runs 30 to 60 minutes.

Highbury goes quiet after midnight, which suits this work. An empty kerb along Highbury Park is a better place to strip a tyre than a garage forecourt at nine in the morning with a queue building behind you. The car never moves, the parking space is still yours, and the wheel is back on and balanced before the traffic starts.
A driver heard the hiss as they parked and rang instead of leaving it until daylight. Twenty minutes of air loss is nothing. Eight hours resting on a soft tyre with the whole weight of the car on it is what destroys the shoulder. Casing open, hole cleaned, wheel back on, and they went to bed.
Topping a tyre up twice a week is not a repair, it is a countdown. There is nearly always something small still sitting in the tread. Off the rim it takes a minute to find, and once it has been sealed from behind the pressure simply stays where you set it.
Aerosol sealant buys a couple of miles and coats the inside of the tyre, and often the valve sensor, with the stuff. We would rather turn out and do the job properly than clean that out first. If a can has already gone in, mention it on the phone so we arrive ready for it.
No. A string pushed in through the tread means nobody has ever seen the inside of the casing, which is where damage actually shows. We take the tyre off the wheel every time, because it is the only honest way to know a repair will hold.
Any hour, every day of the year. A two in the morning job in a quiet residential street is often an easier one to do well than a five o'clock job beside the traffic on the Holloway Road.
The central three quarters of the tread. Anything in the shoulder, or down the sidewall, flexes far too much to hold a patch, and a fitter who tells you otherwise is selling you a tyre that lets go later on.
Every time. A patch and the weights already stuck to the rim rarely agree with one another, and an unbalanced wheel makes itself obvious through the steering at thirty miles an hour.
Then you get told so and you decide. The everyday car, SUV and 4x4 sizes travel with us, so the alternative can go on the same night, and the old casing leaves in the back of the fitting van either way.
