Before anything else, where the car has stopped decides what can happen. Jamaica Road and the Tower Bridge Road approach carry heavy traffic in narrow lanes with nowhere to pull in, and there is no version of this where somebody works on a wheel while through traffic passes a foot away. So the first conversation is usually about getting the car somewhere workable rather than about the tyre.
That might mean a side street off Southwark Park Road, a spot near the Blue market, or simply the nearest place you can legally stop away from the flow. A tyre that is only soft will usually survive that short move. Once the car is somewhere sensible, the ordinary work happens: tyre off the rim, object out and measured, inner liner inspected, combined plug and patch bonded from the inside to BS AU 159, wheel balanced and refitted with the pressures set. Typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes.
The tyre is the small part of the problem. Losing a car for a day in SE1 costs a school pick-up, a shift, a job you have already been paid for, and none of that is fixed by an appointment on Thursday. Midnight in Surrey Quays, midday in Grange, the same call either way. School run in Tower Bridge Road or 1am in Bermondsey, we answer the same.

Bermondsey is wrapped around Jamaica Road as it runs from Tower Bridge out towards Rotherhithe, and the traffic backing up onto the bridge means the main roads here are among the worst places in London to be stationary with a problem. The right first move is almost always sideways into a quieter street rather than onwards to a garage. Once the car is somewhere sensible, the repair itself is the easy part.
A driver losing air on Jamaica Road was talked onto a side street before the van set off. The repair was then straightforward.
A car pulled into a quiet turning off Grange Road with a nail in the tread. Sealed from the inside within half an hour.
A slow puncture repaired in an estate bay in South Bermondsey, with the car never joining the through traffic at all.
It depends where you are. On Jamaica Road or the bridge approach, a short careful move to a side street is usually safer than staying in the flow. We will talk it through on the phone.
A short distance on a soft tyre is usually survivable. It is the long drive to a garage that does the damage, not two hundred yards to somewhere safe.
Then tell us and we will assess it. Sometimes the answer is that the position is too exposed to work in, and we would rather say so than take a risk.
Usually yes, given room at the affected corner. The one-way sections around Bermondsey are tight but they are quieter than the A-roads.
