The legal floor is 1.6mm across the central three quarters, but that figure has nothing to do with whether a puncture can be mended. Two other things decide it: where the object went in, and what it did on the way through. A nail standing upright in the centre of a tyre with plenty of depth left is a routine job. That same nail a couple of inches further out, sitting in the shoulder, finishes the tyre no matter how new it is. When somebody rings from Kentish Town with twenty minutes before a school run, establishing which of those two you have is the first conversation, because it changes what we load and what we are able to promise you.
You will get a time, not a window, and that is most of what an emergency service is for. Behind it is a straightforward job done properly: the wheel comes off where the car is, on Camden High Street or on a drive, the tyre is inspected from the inside, and a repair to British Standard goes in where the damage permits. Blocked drive in Regent's Park? Open kerb in Primrose Hill? Either works. Which street in Kentish Town, which way the car sits in Chalk Farm, and we are set. NW1 takes in Chalk Farm and Regent's Park, and we work the lot.

Everything about a rushed morning here works against you: the crawl on Chalk Farm Road, the lights, and nowhere to abandon a car while you sort it. So the fix comes to the car and the day carries on around it. If the puncture falls outside the repairable band we say so at once instead of letting the clock run down.
Being moved up the list is what urgency buys. A driver near Camden Market with an appointment they had waited months for was seen ahead of everything else booked for the day. The work then ran at its normal speed, which is the only speed that produces a repair worth having.
The car sat still all day while nobody knew. That is the best version of this problem, because a tyre that has lost pressure standing still has done itself no harm at all. We fixed it before the owner finished for the day.
Sometimes the answer is that it cannot be saved. A cut running under the shoulder on a car in Chalk Farm was never going to be repairable, and stringing the owner along for half an hour would only have wasted the time they did not have.
Commonly inside the hour, sometimes sooner. Traffic through the middle of NW1 is the variable, so we quote what the road is actually doing rather than a number that sounds good.
It would, which is why the hurrying happens before we arrive rather than after. Nothing about the inspection or the sealing gets shortened for somebody who is late.
Urgent enough to ring today. A tyre that lost air while parked is almost always still mendable. The damage comes from driving it, so the sooner somebody looks the better the odds.
Yes. A works yard, a hospital car park, a side street off Camden High Street, wherever the car has ended up. It only has to be somewhere we can safely jack it.
Yes, provided it was made to the standard. Testers care whether the mend sits inside the permitted area and whether it went in from the inside. BS AU 159 covers both, and our DVSA-compliant method is built round it. External plugs and sealant residue are what get cars rejected.
