A repaired tyre that goes back on at the wrong pressure will find its way back to you. Under-inflation is the single biggest cause of punctures and premature failure, because a soft tyre has a longer, flatter contact patch that picks up more debris, flexes more at the shoulders and runs hotter than it should. Fixing a nail and leaving the tyre at twenty-two psi is closing one problem and opening another.
So the pressure check is part of the job, and it comes off the plate in the door shut rather than from the tyre or from a guess. All four get set while we are there, not just the one we came for. The repair itself is unglamorous and thorough: tyre off the rim, object out and measured, inner liner inspected, a combined plug and patch bonded from within to BS AU 159, wheel balanced, wheel refitted and torqued. That is the whole of it, done at the kerb outside your terrace.
An emergency repair is a diary problem as much as a tyre problem. So those jobs get priority, we come to wherever the car is in SW11, and the puncture is repaired to British Standard on the spot. Whether it is Lavender Hill in rush hour or York Road at midnight, we answer. On York Road, day or night, Clapham Junction included, arrival across SW11 runs 30 to 60 minutes.

Battersea driving is stop-start along Battersea Park Road and the long climb of Lavender Hill, with a lot of short trips that never get the tyres properly warm and a lot of kerbing in tight resident bays. Under-inflated tyres suffer badly under that pattern. Repairing the puncture and then setting all four pressures properly is what stops you ringing again in two months about a different wheel.
A car on Lavender Hill came in for one nail and had all four tyres well under pressure. Repaired, and the lot were set correctly.
A driver near Clapham Junction had picked up three punctures in a year. Chronic under-inflation was a large part of the reason.
A tyre sealed at the kerb off York Road with the pressures set from the door plate before the wheel went back on.
Indirectly, yes. A soft tyre has a longer flatter footprint that collects more debris and flexes harder at the edges, so it picks up and suffers more damage.
The plate in the driver's door shut, or occasionally the fuel flap. The number on the tyre sidewall is its maximum, not what your car is designed to run.
All four, as part of the visit. It takes a minute and it is the cheapest thing anyone can do to make a set of tyres last.
About half an hour at the car, with typical arrival of 30 to 60 minutes across Battersea, and the vehicle stays exactly where it is parked.
BS AU 159, with the tyre off the rim and the repair bonded from the inside. Nothing gets plugged externally and signed off as finished.
