Under time pressure the useful question is not how quickly a tyre can be swapped, it is whether the one already on the car can be saved.
What rules it out is nearly always position or mileage. A screw through the shoulder is not repairable however neat the hole looks from outside. Neither is a tyre that has covered five miles down the A408 with no air in it, because by then the liner has shredded itself and there is no clean surface left to bond to.
So if you are trying to make a flight, a shift or a delivery slot, the fastest route is to stop early, put air in if you carry a compressor, and ring. Repairs are done to BS AU 159 in the bay the car is already sitting in.
Hospital and clinic appointments are the ones people apologise for ringing about, and they should not. Then it is the usual work done quickly: we come to the car in West Drayton, get the wheel off, inspect the tyre from the inside and repair it to British Standard where the damage permits. Steep camber in Yiewsley? We move a few metres, Stockley Park or anywhere else. Blocked drive in Harmondsworth? Open kerb in Sipson? Either works.

A great many of the punctures we repair in West Drayton come out of the industrial estates and the construction traffic feeding the airport, which means screws and nails sitting in the middle of the tread: exactly the sort that can be saved. What costs people the tyre is not the nail, it is the twenty miles driven afterwards. Stop early and it is a kerbside job.
A commuter came back to a soft nearside front at West Drayton station. A roofing screw sat dead centre in the tread. Repaired on the spot, wheel rebalanced, and the car was out of the car park before the next train had emptied onto the platform.
A driver on Horton Road noticed the pressure falling and used a foot pump to bring it back up instead of pressing on towards Uxbridge. That decision kept the tyre repairable. Another twelve hours of slow leaking would not have.
A courier picked up two nails in the same tyre at a yard near Colnbrook. Both sat in the middle band and were far enough apart to patch separately, which the standard allows. Had they overlapped, the casing would have been scrap.

I was broken down in the middle of the A406, late at night. I called and they arrived within 15 minutes. Very fast and amazing service, and a kind, friendly gentleman got me moving quickly.
Excellent service. I am really impressed. Came within 20 minutes or so, put a new tyre on and balanced it.
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
Around twenty minutes from the wheel coming off to it going back on, balancing included. The variable is how long we take to reach you, typically 30 to 60 minutes depending on where you are and what the A4 is doing at the time.
An external plug is a temporary measure and it conceals the damage from anybody inspecting the tyre later. We take the casing off the rim so the inside can be seen and the repair goes in from within, which is the only version that lasts.
Often yes, though it is messier and slower, because the inside has to be cleaned back before anything will bond to it. Tell us you have used one when you ring, so the van turns up expecting the extra work.
In the outer quarter of the tread width, anywhere across the shoulder, and anywhere on the sidewall. Those areas flex constantly and no patch stays bonded there. You will be shown the marked up tyre before you spend anything either way.
Yes, including the commercial fitments off the estates around Stockley and Colnbrook. The rules are the same but the load ratings are not, so a van tyre that has been run under-inflated gets condemned sooner than a car one would.
