A nail found at midnight on Mary Street is a nail in the tread, and it is repaired from inside after dark just as it would be by day, so a Balsall Heath tyre that qualifies is not replaced.
An overnight puncture in Balsall Heath can be a slow one: a pressure warning on the way back down the Moseley Road after a late shift, a hiss heard while unloading on Clevedon Road, a tyre found flat at eleven outside the flats by Calthorpe Park. A small hole in the tread qualifies for a proper repair at night exactly as by day. Paying for a new tyre because it is late, when the old one can be patched, is a waste.
The figure you agree on the phone is the daytime one, even at night. Ring with the street, the size and how the tyre has been behaving; the fitter comes to the terrace with lighting and the kit, parking where the two-sided street allows. Wheel off, tyre off the rim, inside inspected: a hole that qualifies is closed with a bonded patch-plug to BS AU 159, then the balanced wheel is refitted. A sidewall split by a kerb means a new tyre, fitted at the same time.

Streets where the car is legally parked: Clevedon Road, Mary Street, the terraces off Edward Road and the roads by Calthorpe Park. After dark the fitter avoids the Cannon Hill Park car parks and cannot work in the Moseley Road bus lanes or on the Middleway.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Balsall Heath page
On the Balsall Heath and Edgbaston border, the residential streets around Pebble Mill Road, Calthorpe Fields and Bristol Road (A38) give room for a late repair. Wait somewhere safe and away from the road edge, keep the car where it stopped, and describe the tyre so we can tell whether a repair is likely before the fitter sets off.
Some Balsall Heath punctures turn out to be replacements, whatever the hour. Shoulder holes, and sidewalls opened by a terrace kerb, are past patching, while tyres run flat up the Moseley Road may have a shredded lining. Stop as soon as the steering feels soft. If you will be at work on Ladypool Road or asleep, explain to the fitter how the locking key can be found and leave the car legally parked on a street such as Clevedon Road, where the wheel can be reached.
