There is a real cost to waiting for the morning, and it is not the callout. It is the tyre. A puncture found at midnight is usually a repair. The same puncture after a drive to work on a soft tyre usually is not, because running underinflated builds heat and scuffs the inner liner, and once that scuffing shows on the inside of the casing no repair is legal.
So the argument for two in the morning is not heroics. It is simply that the tyre is still saveable at two in the morning. We come to the bay or the office kerb, break the tyre off the rim, inspect the inside, ream the hole and fit a plug and patch to the BS AU 159 standard, then rebalance the wheel because the patch adds weight where there was none before. By eight you have a repaired tyre rather than a bill for a new one.
Punctures do not keep opening hours. A screw picked up on Victoria Street at eleven at night is still a screw at six the next morning, only by then you are late as well. A 4am Grosvenor Gardens call and a noon Buckingham Palace Road call reach the same fitter. Whether it is Buckingham Palace Road in rush hour or Grosvenor Place at midnight, we answer. SW1 takes in Belgravia and Westminster, and we work the lot.

Overnight is quieter around Victoria Street and Grosvenor Place than any other part of the day, which makes it both the easiest time for us to reach a car and the easiest time to work beside one. Drivers assume the opposite and wait. The tyre does not wait with them, and by the morning rush it is often too late to save it.
A driver returning to a car near Buckingham Palace Road found it visibly soft. Because it had not been driven on at all, the casing was clean inside and the repair was straightforward.
A screw picked up on a Sunday with no garage open until Tuesday. Rather than leave the car sitting in Westminster quietly losing pressure for two days, we repaired it that afternoon.
A tyre nursed across SW1 came off the rim with the tell tale grey scuffing right round the inner liner. It could not be repaired, and dealt with two hours earlier it could have been.
Heat. An underinflated tyre folds as it rolls and the inner surfaces rub against each other. That leaves a grey scuff on the liner, which means the casing has been weakened, and nothing can be bonded safely to a weakened casing.
Every night of the year. The van carries its own lighting, so a repair at three in the morning follows exactly the same procedure as one at three in the afternoon, with the same result at the end of it.
Yes. The patch is not weightless and the wheel was balanced without it. Skipping that step is why some repaired tyres develop a shimmy at speed, and it takes minutes to do properly.
Yes. Everything happens at the car, so it stays in the bay it is entitled to be in. Tell us the street and roughly where along it you are parked and we will find you.
Considerably, which is rather the point of catching it early. A repair keeps a tyre you have already paid for and already worn in, so the only good reason to replace it is that the damage genuinely rules a repair out.
