About a third of the punctures we get called to have nothing visible in them. The nail has already dropped out, or the culprit was a thin sliver of steel banding off a delivery pallet that left a slot you could not find in daylight, let alone at one in the morning. So the tyre comes off the rim and goes into water, or gets sprayed, and the leak announces itself as a steady string of bubbles. That is the only reliable way to find one.
It matters more here than in most places because the roads around Peckham High Street and Queens Road shed a constant supply of small sharp debris, and a lot of it makes holes rather than staying put. Once the leak is found the process is ordinary: ream the channel out, fit a combined plug and patch from the inside, roll it down onto the liner and rebalance the wheel. What you do not want is somebody guessing at the tread, plugging the wrong mark and handing the car back still losing air.
The morning is what an overnight repair actually buys you. We do the third, right across Greater London, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. From Peckham town centre to Nunhead, at whatever hour the call lands. We are out on Rye Lane at 2am and in Nunhead at 2pm. The Bellenden phone and the Queens Road phone ring the same fitter, any hour. The SE15 postcode and a street in Queens Road: that is enough.

The road surfaces around Peckham town centre take a beating and hand a lot of it on to tyres, and much of what causes a puncture here never stays in the tread to be found. Getting the tyre off the rim and putting the leak in water settles it properly. The work happens on the street where the car sits, at whatever hour, with the machine and the lighting on the van.
A tyre off a car near Bellenden had been down twice in a week with no nail anywhere in the tread. In water it gave itself away in seconds. A steel sliver had gone through and fallen out.
A thin strip of metal had cut a narrow slot in the central tread. It was inside what can be repaired, so the tyre stayed on the car rather than going in the van.
A driver home from a late finish found the rear down. Off the rim, leak located, patched from the inside and balanced, and the car was ready for the morning.
Very often. Whatever went in has come back out and left a hole you will not spot by eye. It shows up in seconds once the tyre is off the rim and in water.
It can be, and that gets checked too. Air escapes at the bead and around the valve as readily as through the tread, and the fix is different for each.
Every night of the year. The streets are far easier to work in at two in the morning than at two in the afternoon.
That is rather the point of taking the tyre off. Hunting for a leak with the wheel still on the car is guesswork.
Roughly half an hour once the fitter is with you, including finding the leak, repairing it and balancing the wheel.
