The hardest part of a flat tyre in Chalfont St Giles is usually finding somewhere to stop.
If there is a gateway, a wide spot or a driveway entrance within crawling distance, use it, even at ten miles an hour with the hazards going. If there genuinely is nothing, stop as far in as the car will go, get everyone out on the hedge side and walk back up the road beyond the bend so approaching drivers see people before they see the car. Then call.
On the A413 the advice inverts. Get right off the carriageway, well clear of anything moving, and do not attempt anything with the wheels yourself, whatever tools happen to be in the boot.
Waiting at the roadside with a flat is mostly about not being in the way. Get as far off the carriageway as you safely can, hazards on, and everybody out and behind a barrier if there is one. The wheel comes off in Jordans, not on a ramp in Amersham. Nothing is towed out of Little Chalfont or Three Households; the work finishes there.

There is a reason so many of the calls from around Chalfont St Giles come from lanes rather than main roads. The Misbourne valley routes are narrow, unlit, hedged tight and full of bends that hide a stopped car until it is too late. Prioritise being seen over being quick, get people away from the tarmac, and let the van bring the tyre, the lighting and the space to work in.
A tyre let go where the lane narrows between banks with no room to pass. The driver crawled twenty yards to a field entrance rather than stopping on the bend. That one decision made the job safe, and the wheel was changed in under half an hour.
A visitor found a tyre down in one of the tight spaces near the pond, hemmed in on both sides. There was no getting a jack around the car where it sat, so it was moved a few feet at walking pace to a spot with room and the work happened there.
A pressure warning came up on the approach to Amersham. The driver turned off the main road rather than pressing on, which saved the tyre; the puncture was small, central and still perfectly repairable by the time we got the tyre off the rim.
Get the car as far to the left as the hedge allows, hazards on, and put people up the road beyond the bend where they can be seen. A stationary car on a lane like Bottrells is the hazard, and the safest place for you is not next to it.
We would strongly rather you did not. These lanes are cambered and often muddy, so a jack has nothing solid to sit on, and there is no width to work in. On a flat driveway in Little Chalfont it would be a different answer entirely.
Stop somewhere sensible as soon as one appears. A slow puncture caught early is usually repairable. The same puncture after ten more miles has often destroyed the tyre from the inside, and that is a bill rather than a repair.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes to reach you here, and we will tell you honestly if the lanes or the A413 are going to make that longer. The wheel itself is normally a twenty minute job once we are actually with you at the car.
All of them: Chalfont St Peter, Little Chalfont, Jordans, Seer Green and Three Households, plus the lanes threading between them and the A413 and B4442 corridors, at any hour on any day of the year.
