Something practical decides how fast this goes, and it is not the tyre. It is what the car is standing on. A jack needs a firm, level surface and a proper jacking point on the sill, and a lot of the kerbside around here is worn tarmac that has been patched, dug up and patched again. On a warm day a jack foot will sink into soft asphalt, and a car that settles while a wheel is off is the one thing nobody in this trade takes chances with.
So the fitter will sometimes ask you to move the car ten feet, or will put a spreader plate under the jack, and that is thirty seconds well spent. Once it is up, the job is the usual one: wheel off, tyre off the rim, casing inspected inside, hole reamed, plugged and patched to BS AU 159, wheel balanced and torqued back down. Being in a hurry changes when the van sets off, and it never changes the bit where the car is safely supported.
Somebody waiting to be collected turns a puncture into an emergency faster than anything else. The work happens at the car in SE15: wheel off, tyre inspected from the inside, internal repair to British Standard where the damage sits inside the limits. Steep camber in Nunhead? We move a few metres, Bellenden or anywhere else. Blocked drive in Bellenden? Open kerb in Queens Road? Either works. The SE15 postcode and a street in Queens Road: that is enough.

A car parked on a patched stretch near Peckham High Street had a jack point over broken surface. Moving it a couple of car lengths made the whole job straightforward.
A road near Nunhead falls away sharply to the gutter. The car was reset square before anything came off, and the repair took no longer for it.
A driver with a soft tyre and a shift starting. Reached quickly, jacked properly, repaired from the inside and balanced, and they were away in time.
Because of what it is standing on. Broken or very soft surfaces are not safe to jack from, and moving a few feet solves it without touching the tyre.
For a car length or two at walking pace, usually yes, and the fitter will tell you when it is not worth it. Any further and you start trading a repair for a new tyre.
No. It changes how quickly somebody leaves for you. What happens to the tyre is the same sequence every time.
Yes, and an even, level car park is the easiest place of all to work. Give the level and the bay.
You are told immediately and a correct replacement goes on the same visit, so you still make whatever you were going to be late for.
