Finding the leak is most of the job, and it is the part people assume is obvious. It is not. A nail in the tread is not proof that the nail is where the air is going. Objects work sideways through the rubber and come out somewhere else entirely, and a tyre can just as easily be leaking past a corroded bead, a tired valve or a hairline crack in the rim while a perfectly innocent screw sits in the tread taking the blame.
So the tyre comes off the rim and goes in water, or gets soaped section by section, and we watch for where the bubbles actually form. It takes a few extra minutes at two in the morning and it is the difference between a repair that holds and one that has you ringing again on Thursday. Once the real leak is identified it gets sealed from the inside with a combined plug and patch to BS AU 159.
Early starts are the other half of the overnight work. Half four in the morning, car loaded, and a tyre that has quietly gone down since you parked it in Burwood Park. Anywhere in Surrey, 365 days a year. An Oatlands cul-de-sac or a Lower Green main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Burwood Park or a narrow bay on the M25 near junction 11 is usually workable.

The A3050 Hersham Road and the A317 take steady through-traffic and the surface suffers for it, so debris and potholes account for most of the punctures we deal with in Walton. If you find a tyre going down at night, park it and ring rather than saving the job for the morning. Every mile driven soft narrows the range of repairs still available.
It happens more than you would think. A screw picked up weeks ago sitting harmlessly in the tread, and the air escaping past a valve or the bead the whole time. Pull the screw and you now have two problems instead of one.
Slow leaks are the ones worth doing properly. Soaping the whole tyre and the rim edge finds them. Guessing does not, and a guess costs you the tyre when the pressure finally drops on a run out to Junction 11.
A tyre found soft last thing at night is still a repair. Left until the morning commute it very often is not, because a few miles run soft ruins the casing from the inside. Night work exists for exactly this reason.
Not honestly. A plug pushed in from the outside without taking the tyre off is not a repair to any standard, and it does not tell you whether the casing behind it is intact. The tyre comes off the rim.
Water and soap. The tyre goes off the rim and every part of it, including the bead seat and the valve, is checked for bubbles. Air always shows itself if you look in the right way.
Identical. Same standard, same plug and patch, same cure. The only difference is that we are working under our own lighting, which the van carries because the job requires it.
Yes, the whole area is covered around the clock. If you have stopped near Junction 11, get well clear of the carriageway, ring with your direction of travel and we will come to you.
No. The price is quoted before we set off and it does not change with the hour, the day of the week or the bank holiday.
