A nail found in the tread at midnight in Greenwich is still a repair, not a replacement. The puncture is patched overnight on your Charlton or Eltham street and the daytime standard is not lowered.
Greenwich finds its overnight punctures on the way home. The pressure warning lights up coming over Blackheath after a late shift. A Thamesmead courier checking the van before a 5am start sees one tyre down. Someone unloading on a Westcombe Park street hears the hiss. Often the culprit is a screw from the day's traffic around Kidbrooke or the Charlton retail parks, lodged in the crown of the tread, which can be fixed. Throwing away a repairable tyre because it is dark is money wasted.
The steps do not change with the clock. Wheel off, tyre off the rim, damage checked from the inside, patch-plug bonded in when the hole is in the tread's centre section and under 6 mm, tyre refitted and balanced. The fitter keeps a quiet Eltham or Plumstead street quiet by working with hand tools and a torch. Its price, unchanged from midday, comes on the call; if the tyre proves unrepairable, a replacement is offered and priced before it goes on.
Once you have rung, we can also cover locking wheel nut removal in Greenwich, 24 hour tyre service and van tyre fitting in Greenwich.
Residential streets suit a night repair: Eltham, New Eltham, Kidbrooke, the terraces of Charlton and Plumstead, the roads by Queen Elizabeth Hospital where staff park. The A2 and the Blackwall Tunnel approach stay out of bounds at every hour.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Greenwich page
When a tyre goes soft after dark near Charlton, the streets beside Charlton station or along Charlton Road and The Village are easier to describe than a spot on the A206. Pick a kerb you are permitted to use, away from moving traffic, then tell us how the tyre looks. A repairable puncture is sealed properly from the inside, and a damaged tyre is swapped.
A midnight puncture in Greenwich is not always fixable. Damage in the sidewall or shoulder sits outside the BS AU 159 repair zone, and driving on the deflated tyre along the A102 generally shreds its inner casing. Asleep in New Eltham or on shift at Queen Elizabeth Hospital? Agree access beforehand: where exactly the car stands, where the locking key is hidden and whether the fitter may ring once it is done. Driveways and quiet Kidbrooke roads are the easiest to reach at night.
