If the car is parked at home and the tyre went down this evening, it is perfectly reasonable to leave it until the morning. People ask because it feels like neglect, and it is not. A stationary tyre is not deteriorating, the wheel is not being damaged and the casing will be in exactly the same state at eight tomorrow as it is now. If the car is on a driveway off Cambridge Park or on a quiet avenue near Aldersbrook, nothing about waiting costs you anything except the mild irritation of knowing it is there. The only version worth acting on tonight is one where the car is somewhere it cannot safely stay, or where you need it before anybody sensible would be awake.
What is not reasonable is leaving it and then driving it in the morning because the light has changed and it looks less serious. It will not have improved. So decide which it is: either it waits and gets dealt with properly, or you ring now. Overnight calls are ordinary here, with the A12 running towards the Green Man at all hours and plenty of early starts out towards Stansted, so there is no penalty for choosing either. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s. A repair to BS AU 159 where the damage allows, a correct replacement off the van where it does not.
The first cold snap of the year fills the diary with flats that are not flats. Where there is real damage, the wheel comes off on the drive in Wanstead Flats and it is repaired to standard or replaced from stock, on the spot. Old tyres leave Snaresbrook, Aldersbrook and E11 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Cambridge Park, or at the kerb in Nightingale.

Wanstead is a place where a lot of cars sit still on quiet avenues for days at a time, which makes the overnight question a genuine one rather than an academic one. The answer is that waiting is free and driving is not. Whether the car is standing near the Flats, on a street off Blake Hall Road or on a drive at Aldersbrook, it will be no worse in the morning than it is tonight.
A flat found at ten at night with no need for the car until midday. It sat there untouched, came off the rim in the morning in perfect condition and was mended in half an hour.
A driver left it overnight and then decided it looked well enough to reach the High Street. Those two miles were the only damage the tyre ever suffered, and they were the ones that finished it.
A car needed for an early run out towards Stansted. Waiting made no sense with the departure time it had, so the work happened that night and the drive went ahead as planned.
Yes, if the car is somewhere it can safely stay and you do not need it before then. A flat tyre standing still is not getting any worse.
Not from standing. Damage comes from the wheel turning without air in the tyre. A car parked on its own driveway does none of that.
Possibly, and it makes no difference. Once it is soft enough that you should not drive on it, going softer changes nothing about the repair.
As safe as it would be otherwise. Nothing about a flat tyre changes that, and it is worth remembering that a car with a flat is not one anybody is going to move in a hurry.
Then ring, whatever the hour. Early starts around here are common and the overnight service exists precisely for that.
