The punctures that take longest to find are the ones made by something thin. A length of fencing wire, a thorn off a cut hedge, a sliver of steel banding from a pallet: all of them make an entry hole you can barely see with the naked eye, and all of them will empty a tyre over a few days. Because there is no head sitting proud of the tread, running a hand over the surface finds nothing at all.
That is why the tyre goes off the rim and gets tested properly with water rather than being eyed over. A hole the width of a hair still bubbles under pressure, and once it has been located it can be prepared and sealed like any other. Out here these arrive from hedge cutting and from farm traffic dropping wire on the lanes, and they are one of the more common reasons somebody has been topping a tyre up for a month without ever finding a cause.
Bank holidays are the worst of it. Not here: dispatch runs 365 days a year across Cambridgeshire, and the van carries what it needs to finish the job on the spot. It makes no difference whether the car is in Waterlees or Elm, or which hour of which day it is. The wheel comes off in Clarkson Avenue, not on a ramp in Peterborough. Nothing is towed out of Walsoken or Elm; the work finishes there.

Hedge cutting and farm traffic keep the lanes around Elm and Leverington well supplied with wire and thorns, and those are behind a good share of the slow punctures we deal with here. If a tyre has been going down for weeks and nobody has found anything, it is worth having it off the rim and tested properly rather than topping it up again.
Sharp, hard and small enough to be invisible in the tread. The lanes get cut back each year and the cuttings end up under tyres for weeks afterwards.
Fencing wire and pallet banding both do this. The entry point is a slit rather than a hole and it is easy to miss entirely from outside.
Almost always a fine penetration. Nothing shows on the surface and the leak only reveals itself with the tyre off the rim and under water.
Because thin objects leave almost no visible entry. Only a proper test with the tyre off the rim will show a hole that small.
Usually yes, provided they sit in the central tread band. Small entry does not automatically mean small damage, so the inside gets inspected too.
24 hours a day, every day of the year, across Wisbech and the surrounding Fen villages. We give an honest arrival time given the distances.
No. The figure quoted before we set off is what you pay, whatever the hour or the day.
Yes, and the van carries plates for soft verges as well as its own lighting, which matters out there more than it does in town.
