The belief worth correcting is that a puncture will keep until morning. Often it will not. A tyre with a nail in it and air still behind that nail is a repair; the same tyre driven two miles down Holloway Road on the rim is scrap, because the liner tears itself apart inside long before anything shows on the outside. That is the honest reason we answer the phone at three in the morning. We lift the wheel away, break the bead and study the liner, which is where the real story sits. The puncture is reamed clean, then a plug and patch seals it from the inside to the BS AU 159 standard, and the balance is reset before the wheel is bolted back up. Nobody squirts a can of sealant into the valve here and calls that a fix.
The morning is what an overnight repair actually buys you. Find a flat at midnight and the choice is a lost day, a taxi and an awkward conversation, or somebody who comes out there and then. From Angel to Highbury, at whatever hour the call lands. Boxed in on a Highbury terrace or wide open in Canonbury, say which on the phone. Tight in Barnsbury, easy in Upper Street: neither stops the job. Angel, Upper Street and the streets around Highbury are minutes apart.

Around Angel and Canonbury a puncture rarely announces itself while you are driving. You find it flat in the bay first thing, which is the good version, or you feel it going soft on Essex Road, which is not. Either way that tyre is worth more to you tonight than it will be tomorrow.
A driver home from a late shift heard the hiss while locking up and rang instead of leaving it. The nail sat dead centre in the tread. Off the rim, inspected, patched, balanced, back on by half past two, and that tyre is still doing its job.
A leak slow enough to be fed by a foot pump every few days. Inside the casing the rubber had started to chafe from running soft. Caught just in time, and mended properly rather than binned that week.
A driver near Stoke Newington had emptied an aerosol can into it before ringing. That bought about a mile and cost the tyre, along with the pressure sensor. Worth knowing before you reach for one.
For a clean puncture through the middle of the tread, yes. It is done from the inside, it is permanent, and it follows the British standard for the job. It takes nothing off the life of the tyre.
Every night of the year. Not for show: the tyre is repairable now and might not be after a morning of driving on it.
Where the object went in decides everything. Central tread is repairable. The shoulder and the sidewall are not, however small the hole looks, and if you can see it we will tell you on the phone.
No. All of it happens beside the car, balancing included. The wheel never leaves your sight.
You hear that first, with the reason. More often than not the right size is already aboard, so the car is moving again the same visit.
