There is a can of tyre sealant in a lot of boots, and it is worth knowing what it does before you reach for one at midnight. It fills the tyre with a foam that sets soft against the inner liner. It will get you a few miles. What it will not do is repair anything, and it makes the proper repair afterwards considerably harder, because the whole inside of the tyre now has to be cleaned back to bare rubber before a patch will bond to it.
Worse, the foam gets into the pressure sensor in the valve and frequently kills it, which turns a puncture into a puncture plus a sensor. If the car is parked and safe, leave the can alone and ring instead. We come out at any hour, take the wheel off, break the tyre down and put a combined plug and patch through the hole from the inside to BS AU 159, and the sensor survives.
Nobody wants to be stood over a wheel at four in the morning on Walworth Road, and with us you are not. You ring, we come out, and the wheel comes off while you sit in the warm, on a driveway in Walworth or wherever the car ended up. Midnight in Aylesbury Estate, midday in Burgess Park, the same call either way. School run in East Street or 1am in the Camberwell Road area, we answer the same. SE17 takes in the Camberwell Road area and Walworth, and we work the lot.

Deliveries around East Street and along Walworth Road run from early morning to late at night, and the debris that ends up in the gutter is where most of the punctures in SE17 begin. The useful thing to know is that a tyre still holding pressure with a nail in it is the cheap version of this problem. Leave it in place, leave the car where it is, and ring.
Still doable in most cases, just slower. The liner has to be cleaned back thoroughly, because a patch bonded to a film of foam is a patch that lifts. We will tell you if it has gone too far to be worth it.
The foam finds the valve first and clogs the sensor behind it. The warning light stays on afterwards and people assume the repair failed when the tyre is fine and the sensor is not.
Nothing has to happen at all until we arrive. A tyre with an object still in it and pressure behind it is a straightforward repair at three in the morning as much as at three in the afternoon.
If you are somewhere genuinely unsafe and need to move the car a short distance, it has a use. If the car is parked and you are safe, it costs you more than it saves.
Usually, provided the inside is cleaned back properly and the casing is sound. It takes longer and there is a point where it is not worth doing, and we will say so rather than fit a patch that will not hold.
Only if the foam has got into it, which it often has. We check the sensor while the tyre is off rather than leaving you to discover it when the warning light stays lit.
Every night of the year, including bank holidays. Late shifts and early starts are half of what this service exists for, and the price does not change with the hour.
Yes. Estate bays, side streets off Walworth Road and workplace car parks are all normal. The van carries its own lighting, so an unlit bay is not a reason to wait for morning.
