Two beliefs cause most of the avoidable damage we see. The first is that a can of sealant counts as a repair. It does not. It buys you a few miles, coats the inside of the casing so that nobody can properly inspect it afterwards, and frequently kills the valve sensor while it is in there. The second is that leaving a soft tyre until the morning is the cautious choice. It is the opposite. Rubber that is holding some air at midnight can be finished by nine, because the overnight drop plus a short drive at the wrong pressure destroys the inner wall.
That is why we run through the night rather than pretending to. A tyre on a bay off Hoxton Street can be dealt with at two in the morning, with the street quiet and the car exactly where you parked it. Off the rim, liner examined properly, injury reamed, plug and patch bonded in to BS AU 159, wheel rebalanced, back on the hub. In the morning you drive out onto Kingsland Road with a tyre that has been mended once and permanently, rather than one full of aerosol residue and optimism.
Away from home and a flat overnight is the worst combination, because you have no idea who to ring. A hotel car park, a relative's street, a road you have never driven before, the Charles Square area or anywhere else round Hoxton. We are out on Old Street at 2am and in the Charles Square area at 2pm. The Pitfield Street phone and the Kingsland Road phone ring the same fitter, any hour.

Overnight is genuinely the easier time to work in this part of N1, when Hoxton Street has emptied and there is room beside a parked car. Whatever the hour, the repair is the full inside-out job to the British Standard rather than something pushed in from the outside.
A resident had come home and heard air escaping while walking away from the car. Calling then rather than in the morning made the difference between a repair and a replacement, because the tyre was never driven soft.
A can had been used the previous week and the pressure was falling again. We washed the residue out, found the original injury sitting where a repair is permitted, and mended it properly. The sensor had not survived, which is the usual price of the shortcut.
An early start, a car that had to be loaded, and a slow puncture found the night before. Doing it overnight meant nothing was rearranged and the car went out as planned.
In practice, no. Repaired to the standard, it goes on doing the same job for the rest of its natural life. What costs you money is a bad repair or a tyre driven flat, not a good repair.
Not really. There is no hammering and no engine roaring. It is quieter than the buses on the A10 and considerably quieter than a recovery truck at dawn.
Very common. Small screws seal themselves and fine wires vanish into the tread pattern. Finding them properly means water, pressure and the tyre off the wheel, which is part of the visit.
Yes, and it depends on their positions and how far apart they are. We will tell you when a tyre has had enough rather than adding another patch for the sake of it.
Always. A patch adds weight in one place, and skipping the balance is how you end up with a vibration at forty that was not there before.
