There are two things people call a puncture repair and only one of them is. The quick version is a sticky string pushed into the hole from the outside with the tyre still on the wheel. It takes two minutes, it usually holds air, and it is not a repair to any recognised standard, because nobody has looked inside the tyre to see whether the casing behind the hole survived the object that made it.
The real version takes the tyre off the rim. The inside gets inspected, the hole is prepared, and a combined unit goes in with a stem filling the channel and a patch sealing the inner liner around it. That is what BS AU 159 describes and it is what a tyre gets from us at four in the morning as readily as at four in the afternoon. If the casing inside is damaged, that inspection is the only thing that would ever have told you.
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 SW18, with the same van carrying the same stock and the same balancer. The wheel comes off in Southfields, not on a ramp in Clapham. Nothing is towed out of Earlsfield or Southside; the work finishes there.

Garratt Lane carries constant delivery traffic and the gutter collects what falls off it, which is where a fair share of the punctures in SW18 begin. Nothing about darkness makes the work harder. What darkness changes is who is willing to turn out, and the tyre you have at midnight is very often better than the one you will have after the morning commute.
Sometimes they hold for years and sometimes they let go on the South Circular at speed. Either way nobody has ever seen the inside of that tyre, so nobody knows what condition it is in.
A nail found last thing at night with the car parked in Earlsfield is a straightforward overnight job. Left until morning and driven on soft, it very often stops being repairable at all.
Leave it there. It is plugging its own hole while it waits, and pulling it out simply lets the air go and turns a tyre that would have held until we arrived into one that will not.
It skips the inspection. The object may have broken cords on its way through, and a plug pushed in from outside seals the hole while leaving that damage undiscovered and unrepaired.
Yes, within the repairable area. Done to BS AU 159 it is a permanent fix rather than a get-you-home, and the tyre runs out its life normally afterwards.
Everything needed to break the tyre off the rim, inspect it, repair it, refit and rebalance travels with us, plus lighting for the night jobs.
Every night of the year. Nights suit this work, because the roads are clear and the tyre is still in the condition it was in when you parked it.
No. The figure quoted before we set off is the figure you pay, whatever the hour and whatever the day.
