It is worth knowing what happens if the tyre goes down again a week later, because people worry about that more than they say. A mend carried out to BS AU 159 is a permanent one: the tyre is separated from the wheel, the interior of the casing is cleaned and prepared, the hole is reamed to size, and a combined plug and patch seals the injury from the inside rather than being pushed in from the tread. Done that way it lasts as long as the tyre does. So if the same corner starts losing air again afterwards, the repair is very rarely the reason. It is usually the valve, or the seal where the tyre meets the wheel, or something else that was picked up separately, and all three are ordinary things to find.
Either way, ring and say so. That corner gets looked at again and you get told what has actually been found rather than a shrug. Around NW10 this comes up more than average, because cars here live outdoors on permit streets all year and the aluminium ledge the tyre seals against does not enjoy a decade of road salt. Leave the car where it stands, whether that is off Walm Lane, up towards Dollis Hill or on the High Road side, and the wheel comes off there.
Two questions get answered on every flat tyre call, in this order. We come out in NW10 and do exactly that, in Roundwood, Willesden Green or anywhere between, then repair to standard where the damage sits inside the limits or fit a replacement from the van where it does not. The wheel comes off in Roundwood, not on a ramp in Harlesden. Nothing is towed out of the Walm Lane area or Dollis Hill; the work finishes there.

Cars around Willesden Green and up towards Dollis Hill stand at the kerb through every winter, which is why a returning slow leak here is so often the wheel rather than the tyre. That is worth knowing before you assume a repair has failed. Ring, describe the pattern, and the same corner gets read again properly in the same permit space it has occupied all along.
A driver near Willesden Green rang back a fortnight after a repair. The patch was sound. The valve had given up separately, which was a small job rather than an argument.
A car with a string plug pushed in from outside by somebody else. It held for a month and then did not. A proper repair from the inside went in once the casing had been read.
A tyre losing pressure again with nothing in the tread. The ledge the tyre seals against had corroded, so it was taken back to clean metal and the tyre reseated rather than another one being sold.
Yes. A mend done to the standard is permanent and lasts the life of the tyre. It is sealed from the inside after the casing has been cleaned and prepared, not plugged from the tread.
Very unlikely. Ring and it gets looked at, but the usual answers are a valve, a corroded wheel seat or a second object entirely. You will be shown which.
A plug goes in from the outside with the tyre still on the wheel, so the inside of the casing is never seen. Nobody can say what state it is in, which is the entire point of taking the tyre off.
Sometimes, and it depends where the repairs sit in relation to each other. It gets judged with the casing in front of the fitter rather than over the phone.
No, provided the car is accessible. Plenty of these are done with the owner at work, on a permit street where the car has not moved since the first visit.
