A proper puncture repair has a defined shape to it, and it is worth knowing what that shape is before somebody sells you something else. The wheel comes off the car. The tyre is peeled off the rim. What the casing looks like on the inner face is the whole test, because that is where a run flat tyre shows its damage and where a nail tells you how far it travelled. The hole is reamed to clean it, then a patch meeting BS AU 159 is bonded across the injury on the liner and a plug fills the channel behind it. Finally the wheel is rebalanced and torqued back on.
All of that happens beside the car, whatever hour the problem turns up. The reason for turning out at three in the morning is not enthusiasm. It is that the tyre is repairable while it still has air in it, and a couple of miles down Kentish Town Road on the rim destroys the liner past any patching. Ringing at midnight and ringing at eight are two different outcomes for the same tyre.
Christmas and New Year are the quietest weeks for garages and among the busiest for us. Dispatch runs on those days like any other, across NW5, with the same van carrying the same stock and the same balancer. We are out on Fortess Road at 2am and in Highgate Road at 2pm. The Kentish Town phone and the Tufnell Park phone ring the same fitter, any hour. The NW5 postcode and a street in Gospel Oak: that is enough.

Punctures round here get picked up on the through traffic and discovered on the side streets. Kentish Town Road takes buses and deliveries from dawn until late, and the debris that comes with that ends up in tyres parked off Leighton Road overnight. Getting it repaired before the car moves again is the cheap version.
A driver got home, heard the hiss and rang rather than going to bed on it. A screw through the centre of the tread with the tyre still nearly up. Repaired at the kerb and back on the car within the hour.
A leak managed for a week rather than fixed. The nail had begun to work a bigger hole with every mile. Still saveable, but only just, and another week would have settled it the other way.
A can emptied into the tyre before we were called, leaving a lining of foam that made a proper inspection impossible and had already upset the pressure sensor. That is money spent to lose a tyre.
Because you cannot see the damage from outside. Half of what decides whether a tyre is repairable is on the inner liner, and anybody who repairs without looking is guessing.
Permanent. A plug and patch fitted from the inside to the British standard is a repair the tyre carries for the rest of its life.
We do not. The phone is answered at any hour of any day, Christmas included.
No. They go in from the outside while the tyre stays on the wheel, so nothing is inspected and nothing is sealed on the inner face. We do not fit them.
Yes, provided we can reach the wheel and you have agreed the price beforehand. Plenty of these are done overnight with the owner indoors.
