The puncture that comes back a week later is usually not the same puncture. What has normally happened is that the tyre picked up two objects, one was found and dealt with, and the other stayed put. The second is nearly always smaller and set further into a groove, and it leaks so slowly that for the first few days after the repair the tyre appears to be holding. Then the pressure starts creeping down again and the repair gets the blame.
That is why the whole tread face gets checked rather than just the piece somebody pointed at, and why the inner liner is inspected for entry points that are invisible from outside. It takes a few extra minutes with the tyre off the rim and it saves a second call out. When we come to a car around Bedford, whether that is a drive in Brickhill or a bay at the Interchange Retail Park, that is the routine. Where each injury is within the permitted part of the tread and within size, and the two are far enough apart, both get repaired properly and the wheel is rebalanced.
The can of sealant in the boot is a way of moving the car, not a repair. Ring us instead and the wheel comes off where the car is, on a driveway in Kempston or at the kerb, the tyre comes off the rim, and the damage is inspected from the inside. Name Kempston or Brickhill, name the A6, and we have you. Steep camber in Goldington? We move a few metres, Queens Park or anywhere else. Blocked drive in Elstow? Open kerb in Putnoe? Either works.

Bedford's road layout means driving on a damaged tyre is rarely a short journey, with the A6 offering limited pull ins and the A421 and A428 running at dual carriageway speeds. A repair that has to be done twice therefore costs a good deal more than the second repair. Checking the whole tyre the first time is the cheapest part of the job.
A car in Kempston had been repaired elsewhere and was going down again. There was a second entry point, fine and flush, visible only from inside the tyre.
A vehicle from Goldington with a screw and a small nail in the same tyre. Well separated, both in bounds, both dealt with before the wheel went back on.
A driver near Elstow with a single injury and a completely clean tyre otherwise. Checked, confirmed, repaired, and no second visit.
Usually because there were two objects and only one was found. The second is normally smaller and leaks slowly, so the tyre seems fine for a few days after the first repair.
By checking the whole tread face and the entire inner liner rather than only the area around the object you found. Entry points that are invisible from outside show up clearly on the inside.
Yes, provided each is in the permitted area, within the size limit, and they are far enough apart that the repairs do not crowd each other.
Yes. If a tyre is still losing air after a repair it is worth taking off and looking at properly rather than adding air to it every few days.
