A self-tapper found at 11pm on an Addiscombe permit street is repaired that night under a work lamp, not swapped for a new tyre, so the car makes the morning train.
Fixings from the Purley Way yards and debris from the A23 are the sort of damage a Croydon driver finds at night, noticed when parking in Thornton Heath after a late shift or getting home to Selsdon and hearing the hiss. Darkness does not change the rules: a screw dead centre in the tread, a hole under 6 mm, and a tyre that has not been run flat can all be patched at the kerb in CR0 at two in the morning.
Call with the postcode and the wheel. Leave any screw in the tyre; it keeps the leak slow. Under the lamp on your Thornton Heath street the wheel comes off, the tyre is parted from the rim and the liner inspected for scuffing from running soft. Inside the BS AU 159 limits the hole is patched from within; a shoulder or sidewall hole rules a patch out and a new tyre is offered. The repair is priced before the van leaves, at the same rate it would be by day.
Once you have rung, we can also cover locking wheel nut removal, emergency tyre replacement and puncture repair in Croydon.
A lit permit bay in Addiscombe or Thornton Heath that is yours, a driveway in Purley or Shirley with the porch light on, an estate road in New Addington. Not the A23, not a retail park, not the station car parks.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Croydon page
Sanderstead Road, the B269 running south past Purley Oaks station and Sanderstead station, is a route home for late drivers. A tyre that loses pressure there can often be mended by the kerb once you are parked on a quiet residential road off it. We ask where the puncture is on the tyre and its size before confirming that a repair is possible.
Some midnight calls become replacements. Shoulder or sidewall damage, or a tyre run home flat from the Purley Way, spoils the casing inside so it cannot be plugged. Tram-rail pinch damage falls into the same category. If you will be asleep in Waddon or out on an early shift, park on your own drive or any public road, and agree with us where the locking key will be.
