It is worth being clear that not every deflated tyre is a puncture, because the two get treated very differently. A nail or a screw makes a small clean penetration, and in the central tread that reams, plugs and patches to BS AU 159 and the tyre keeps its life. A slash from a kerb, a cut from something sharp in the road, or a torn tread block is a different animal: the rubber has been opened rather than pierced, there is nothing tidy for a plug to fill, and outside the central band there is no repair permitted at all.
When the clock is running that distinction is the whole conversation, because it decides whether you are getting half an hour of repair or a replacement off the van. Often it can be worked out from what you describe on the phone, which means the fitter arrives carrying the right answer rather than discovering it. Either way it is dealt with beside the car in one visit, which around the Uxbridge Road matters more than anywhere, because there is nowhere sensible to drive a soft tyre to.
The holiday departure is the one that hurts most, because the whole thing is timed. Ferry, flight, a booked slot at the other end, and a nail found in the tread while the car is being loaded outside the house in Shepherd's Bush Green. A Goldhawk Road cul-de-sac or an Uxbridge Road main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Askew Road or a narrow bay on Goldhawk Road is usually workable.

There is nowhere useful to drive a soft tyre to around Shepherd's Bush, which makes the repair or replace decision worth getting right on the phone rather than after a wasted journey. A clean puncture in the central tread is half an hour and the tyre survives. A cut is a replacement, and either way it is finished in one visit beside the car.
A screw dead centre in the tread on a car near Brackenbury. Clean penetration, clean casing, repaired and rebalanced with time in hand.
A tyre opened along the shoulder against a kerb near the Green. Nothing about that is repairable, and knowing it on the phone saved a wasted trip.
A car off Goldhawk Road had a block partly torn away rather than pierced. There was nothing for a plug to fill and a replacement went on the same visit.
Say whether it is a small round hole with something in it, or an opening you could get a fingernail into, and roughly where across the tread it sits. That is usually enough to know what to bring.
Because a repair fills a clean channel and bonds a patch behind it. An open cut has no channel, and outside the central tread nothing is repairable in any case.
No. Being quicker to arrive is the only thing that changes. Nothing gets patched that should not be patched because somebody is in a hurry.
Where it can, and you will be told when it cannot. The type on the sidewall matters as well as the size.
Wherever the car has safely stopped. If a spot is genuinely unsafe you will be told that rather than have somebody attempt it.
