A screw found at midnight on a Gospel Oak permit bay is no reason to buy a tyre. The fitter patches it under a lamp and the car is ready when Kentish Town wakes.
Site nails from Kings Cross and Euston are a night-time puncture risk here, noticed when a driver parks in Kentish Town after a late shift and hears the hiss, or finds the car low on a Somers Town street after the last train. Darkness changes nothing about the test: object in the centre band of the tread, hole under 6 mm, tyre not driven flat. The fitter carries lighting and the tools to dismount and patch on a permit bay in NW5.
Call with the street, the bay number and which tyre. Leave any nail in place; it slows the leak and shows where to look. Under the lamp the Kentish Town wheel comes away, the tyre is levered off the rim, the inner liner checked for damage from running soft. A hole inside the BS AU 159 limits is patched from within; one in the shoulder or sidewall is not repairable, and you are offered a new tyre instead. One figure, the same as by day, settled before NW2.
You can book locking wheel nut removal or van tyre fitting in Camden on the same call.
A permit bay you hold in Kentish Town, Camden Town or Dartmouth Park, a Somers Town street, a Finchley Road forecourt, a lit mews in Primrose Hill. Not the station forecourts, not a red route.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Camden page
Adelaide Road, the B509 running from near Chalk Farm station towards Swiss Cottage station, carries plenty of traffic late in the evening. If a tyre starts going soft on it, turn into a residential street where you can park legally, ideally under a street light. Many late punctures can be repaired at the kerb; we check the tread position and size before saying so for certain.
Not every late call can end in a repair. Damage in the shoulder or the sidewall has to be a replacement, and so does a tyre driven any distance flat, since the casing breaks down inside when it runs without air. If you are asleep in Belsize Park or working a night at the Royal Free, leave the car in its bay, work out with us how the locking key can be reached and send the bay number, so the patch-plug can go in before morning.
