Before anyone talks about repairing a puncture, it is worth establishing that you have a puncture. A tyre that keeps going soft is not necessarily a tyre with a hole in it. Air escapes past a perished valve, past a corroded bead seat where the rubber meets the rim, and through hairline damage in the wheel itself, and every one of those presents to the driver in exactly the same way: pressure down again on Monday morning, no object visible anywhere in the tread.
So the first thing that happens on arrival is that the tyre comes off the rim and the whole assembly gets checked, not just the tread. If it is a puncture in the repairable band it gets a combined plug and patch from the inside. If it is the bead, the seat gets cleaned back and resealed. If it is the valve, that is a small part and a two minute job. Diagnosing it properly is what stops you ringing again next week.
One puncture should not cost you a whole day, and it usually does not need to. When the job is time-critical we push it up the list and come to you across SE17, with everything needed to finish it at the kerb: wheel off, tyre off the rim, damage checked from the inside, a proper internal repair to British Standard, rebalanced and back on. The wheel comes off in Aylesbury Estate, not on a ramp in Bermondsey. Pressures set before we leave East Street, and the same on Old Kent Road. SE17 takes in the Camberwell Road area and Walworth, and we work the lot.

The junctions across SE17 take a hammering and the potholes worn into them are hard on wheels as well as tyres. If a tyre has gone soft twice on the same corner and nobody has ever taken it off the rim to look, the odds are good that the tyre was never the problem. That is a cheaper conversation to have before a replacement than after one.
Classic bead or valve leak. Corrosion builds up where the tyre seals against the rim and lets air past in a fine line all the way round. No object to find, because there is not one.
Nothing needs to move. The wheel comes off where the car sits, the tyre comes off the rim on the van, and the actual leak gets identified rather than guessed at from the outside.
A buckled or cracked wheel will leak past a perfectly good tyre. Potholes on the busier junctions around SE17 do this regularly, and it is worth knowing before you buy a tyre that was never the problem.
Most often the valve or the bead seat where the tyre meets the rim. Both are common, both are invisible from outside, and both are fixable once the tyre is off.
Not reliably. Spraying the outside will find an obvious tread puncture and will miss a bead leak entirely. The honest answer needs the tyre off the rim.
No. If the leak turns out to be a valve or a bead seat, that is what gets fixed and that is what you pay for. Selling a tyre to somebody with a sound tyre is not a business worth having.
Typically well under an hour from arrival for a single wheel, including finding the leak, sealing it, refitting and balancing.
Yes, around the clock. Get as far clear of the live lanes as you safely can, ring with your position and direction, and we will come to you.
