Every urgent puncture starts with the same step, and it is the one nobody plans for: the wheel has to come off. Around here that is often where the trouble really starts, because the car is in a bay it is only just entitled to be in, on a street where nothing is allowed to stop, and the jacking point is on the traffic side of the vehicle.
We work to that constraint rather than against it. The van pulls in beside you, the car stays exactly where it is, and the wheel comes off with the weight properly supported and chocks in place. If a locking nut has seized, that gets dealt with first, because there is no repair to discuss until the wheel is actually in our hands. Then the tyre comes off the rim, the object comes out and the hole is plugged and patched from the inside.
Urgent does not mean rushed, and it should not mean a worse repair. The method is the same whether you have all afternoon or twenty minutes: wheel off, tyre off the rim, casing inspected from the inside, an internal plug-patch fitted only where BS AU 159 permits one, then rebalanced and pressure-set. From Westminster to Belgravia, typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes with a live ETA. The Grosvenor Gardens phone and the Buckingham Palace Road phone ring the same fitter, any hour. Midnight in Buckingham Palace Road, midday in the Ebury Street area, the same call either way. SW1 takes in Belgravia and Westminster, and we work the lot.

The streets between Grosvenor Place and the stations were built for moving people rather than parking cars, so a driver with a flat has very few options and no time in which to work through them. Doing the whole job at the kerb removes the part that actually costs the day, which is not the puncture itself but the moving of the car.
A car with a flat could not be moved out of a bay off Ebury Street without driving on it. We came to the bay, worked from the pavement side and had the wheel off without the car moving an inch.
A driver near Westminster had a puncture and a locking nut that would not turn. The nut came out with extraction tools, and only then did the actual repair start.
A soft tyre found on Buckingham Palace Road with a hospital appointment to keep. The object was sitting in the tread, so it was a repair rather than a replacement and the appointment was kept.
No, and you should not try. Driving on a flat to find a better spot is how a repairable tyre turns into a scrap one. Tell us where you are and we work at that spot.
It usually comes down to a locking nut, and we carry the tools for that. It gets removed first and the puncture gets dealt with afterwards, all in one visit rather than two.
It changes when we arrive and nothing else. The tyre still comes off the rim, the casing is still inspected and the patch still goes in from the inside. There is no faster version of a proper repair.
We work on side streets and in bays rather than on the main routes, for obvious reasons. Get the car into the nearest legal spot you can reach without driving on the flat and we will come to that.
Then a replacement comes off the van in the same visit, so you are not left standing beside a stripped wheel with no plan. You are told which it is going to be before anything is charged for.
