Two things decide an urgent puncture, and only one of them is the clock. The first is where the object went in: across the tread face it can be dealt with properly, out at the edge or in the sidewall it cannot, and no amount of being late changes that boundary. The second is how far the car has already been driven on it, because distance covered soft is what wrecks the inner liner and takes the decision out of everyone's hands.
What priority buys you is the order of arrival. We come to the person with a shift starting or a hospital appointment before the person who can wait until Thursday. The repair itself is fixed: the wheel is stripped, the liner gets looked over, the puncture is opened and capped with a patch to the BS AU 159 standard, and the balance is corrected before anything goes back on the car. There is no faster version of that and anybody offering one is skipping a step.
An emergency repair should end with a legal car, not a temporary one. We do that at the car in Westcombe Park, fit a proper internal plug-patch to British Standard where it qualifies, rebalance and set the pressure. Old tyres leave Westcombe Park, Maze Hill and SE10 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Maze Hill, or at the kerb in Blackheath.

Most urgent work here lands on the back streets rather than the main routes, which is simply where cars sit when trouble is discovered. Parking is tight from Maze Hill down to the town centre, so the approach is worked out in advance instead of improvised on arrival.
A soft tyre discovered on a morning with about fifteen spare minutes in it. The nail sat well inside the repairable area, so the work was done where the car stood, balanced, and the day carried on without anybody begging a lift.
One car in the household and an appointment that had been waited on for months. We prioritised it, gave the verdict on arrival and had the wheel back on inside the hour.
The damage on this one sat on the shoulder, an inch outside where any patch is permitted. We said no, explained why, and fitted the correct replacement instead so the person still got where they were going.
Frequently. Say which road you are on and you will hear something honest, because guesswork about SE10 traffic helps nobody.
A plug driven in from outside holds nothing internally and leaves the casing unseen. However short the time, that tyre is coming off its wheel.
No. What is prioritised is your place in the queue. The method does not change and nor does the standard it is done to.
Getting somewhere safe was the right call and a short distance is usually survivable. Miles at speed usually are not. The liner gets shown to you before anything is decided.
By card, tapped at the roadside whatever the hour. The price was agreed before work began.
