Nobody is going to give you a hard time about the state of the tyre. It comes up more often than you would think, usually as an apology on the phone: the set is old, the tread is getting thin, it should have been dealt with months ago, money has been tight. None of that changes how the job is done or how you get spoken to at the kerb. Cars around SE17 spend their lives in resident bays doing short journeys, tyres get replaced when they have to be rather than when a chart says so, and a fitter who works these streets every week has seen every version of it. You will be told what is actually wrong and what the options are, plainly and without a lecture attached.
The same applies if you have already tried something. A can of foam used at midnight, a plug pushed in from outside, nuts done up by somebody with a gun: all of it is common and all of it is easier to deal with when you say so at the start. What matters is the car stops being driven. Leave it in the bay on the Aylesbury Estate or on the street off Walworth Road where it stands, and the tyre comes off the rim there. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s, at whatever hour it happened, usually reached in 30 to 60 minutes.
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. Nothing is towed out of East Street or the Camberwell Road area; the work finishes there. Pressures set before we leave the Camberwell Road area, and the same on East Street. The SE17 postcode and a street in Aylesbury Estate: that is enough.

Walworth is a place where cars are kept going rather than replaced, and where tyres get bought when they are needed rather than when a schedule says. That is normal and it is not something anybody at the kerb is going to make you feel bad about. Say what has happened, say what has already been tried, and the job gets done properly on a street off Walworth Road or in a bay on the estate.
A driver near East Street spent the first minute of the call explaining why the tyres were old. It was not needed. The puncture was in good tread on that corner and the repair went ahead without comment.
A tyre off Camberwell Road with foam in it from a previous night. Saying so on the phone meant the right work was planned, and the casing turned out to be salvageable after a proper clean.
A plug found in the casing on a car bought second hand near Burgess Park. It was not the owner's doing and it was not held against them. They were shown it and told what it meant.
No. You will be told what is safe and what is not, in plain terms, and then left to decide. That is the whole of it.
Please do. It changes the preparation rather than the outcome, and finding it unexpectedly wastes time. Nobody minds, and there are nights when using it was the right call.
Common, and worth mentioning. An old plug or a poorly done patch usually shows up once the tyre is off the rim anyway, and you get shown what has been found.
Say so. The repair gets attempted wherever the damage genuinely allows one, and if it does not, you will hear what the options actually are rather than only the most expensive one.
Yes, that is where a lot of this work happens. The car stays in its space and the fitter works alongside it, so you do not lose the bay over a puncture.
