There is nowhere in the middle of this town to deal with a flat, which is precisely why the aerosol gets used. You are on a car park level with a queue building behind you, or stopped on a stretch of road where stopping is not really allowed, and the can in the boot promises to have you moving in three minutes. It generally does. What it does not mention is what it costs the tyre. The latex goes in as a liquid, coats the whole inside of the casing, and then starts to set.
By the time the tyre is off the rim, the inside is lined with something between wallpaper paste and chewing gum. All of it has to come out before anyone can even find the hole, because a patch will not stick to sealant and a hurried clean means it lifts a month later. It gets into the valve and around the pressure sensor as well. So mention it when you ring. It changes nothing about whether we come out to you, but it changes what we bring and how long we are there.
The nursery closes at six and charges by the minute after that. We come to wherever the car is in SM1 with a live ETA, so you know whether to ring ahead. A driveway in Sutton Common, a work car park or the roadside, whichever applies. Old tyres leave Belmont, Cheam and SM1 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Rosehill, or at the kerb in Benhilton.

The centre of Sutton is the worst place to have a flat and one of the easiest places to get one. Deliveries leave screws along the approaches, the ramps and bays scuff wheels, and there is nowhere sensible to kneel beside a car for twenty minutes. That gap is what the sealant can exists to fill. We would rather fill it ourselves, at the kerb, with the tyre off the rim and the job done once.
Found on the drive with an hour in hand. The screw was central and had not been driven on, so it was a clean repair from the inside and the car went off to work on time.
The puncture itself was repairable. Getting there took twice as long, because the casing had to be washed out and dried before a patch would take hold of anything at all.
A pressure sensor clogged with set latex reads nothing and the dashboard light stays on. Sometimes it washes clean. Sometimes the valve assembly is finished and the honest answer is a new one.
Usually not. The puncture is normally still repairable underneath it all. What you have bought yourself is a longer job and a possible sensor problem, not a scrap tyre, provided the car was not driven far on it while soft.
No. It means we set off sooner. The work itself takes what it takes, and the part anyone would want hurried, inspecting the inside of the casing, is the part that decides whether the repair lasts.
Sometimes. A sensor caked in dried sealant may well clean up, and a service kit of valve, seal and nut is cheap. If the electronics have been swamped it needs a new one, and you will hear that before anything is ordered.
For getting yourself out of a live lane and somewhere safe, it is a reasonable thing to own. As a repair it is a stopgap that makes the real repair harder. If you are already somewhere safe, ring first: waiting is often quicker.
Give us the postcode, the size off the sidewall and where the car is standing. Thirty to sixty minutes is normal across this side of London, longer at the worst of the rush hour, and you will get a realistic time rather than a hopeful one.
