A screw spotted at midnight after the North Circular drive home to Finchley or Wanstead is normally a job for a patch rather than a new tyre. It can be fixed overnight so the morning commute still happens.
Many late punctures near the A406 are straightforward: a nail from the gutter near Henlys Corner found as you park in Finchley, a screw from the Chiswick roundabout slip road heard hissing in Gunnersbury, or a slow leak discovered after a late shift in Wanstead. Apart from the hole, the tyre itself is usually fine. The problem is the clock, because the North Circular rush hour starts early and no tyre shop opens in time.
Overnight, BS AU 159 applies exactly as it does by day. With the tyre off the rim, the screw or nail comes out, the liner is checked for damage from running soft, and a hole measuring at most 6 mm, sitting in the central tread, gets a patch-plug bonded from within. An overnight repair is quoted by phone at the same price as a daytime one. An unrepairable tyre is explained to you before a replacement is ever mentioned.
Need something else? Our pages on locking wheel nut removal and burst tyre replacement on the A406 North Circular explain those jobs.
Finchley side streets north of Henlys Corner, Gunnersbury residential roads and quiet Wanstead streets suit a night repair. Check permit bay hours for the morning, and do not wait on the A406 or its slip roads; stranded, dial 999.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the A406 North Circular page
Night-time repairs in the Wanstead and South Woodford area start once the car is off the A406. Streets near South Woodford station, or a side road off Chigwell Road on the A113, are places a fitter can find. Tread damage is usually mended where the car stands; anything else is quoted as a replacement.
Access is the practical question for a late repair near the North Circular. If you plan to sleep, leave the car on a Wood Green drive or a legal South Woodford street, decide with us where the lock key waits, and leave your mobile switched on. Then there are the limits: shoulder damage, a sidewall slit, or a tyre driven flat through the Bounds Green underpass cannot be patched, and the fitter shows you why before a replacement is raised.
