Midnight in Yiewsley, a nail in the tread and an early start: that is a repair job, not a replacement. The tyre is opened up at the kerb and patched from inside before the morning.
West Drayton and Yiewsley can see late flats from the airport shifts and the Bath Road traffic: a screw collected on the day shift that empties the tyre on a UB7 street after dark. The tyre itself is sound. What the owner wants is the standard repair done at night, before an early start, and nobody should be talked into a new tyre at 1am when a repair is possible. Patch-plugs and bead tools ride on the night van exactly as on the day one.
Ring with the street and the size at whatever hour it is. Kerbside, the fitter lifts the wheel off, breaks the bead and turns the tyre out under a lamp to read the liner. Central puncture, under 6 mm, never run flat: the patch-plug is bonded from inside and the wheel goes back on balanced. Shoulder or sidewall: the verdict is unrepairable, and only then is a replacement priced. What the repair costs, the same by night as by day, is said on the phone before the van leaves NW2.

Night punctures around Ruislip are repaired where the car is parked when the damage allows. A road near Ruislip Manor station or West Ruislip station is easier to find than an unlit lane, and a turning off West End Road works too. Tell us about the leak and where you are, and on arrival the tyre is checked to see if a repair is safe.
Night repairs have limits. A screw in the tyre shoulder, a sidewall cut or a casing driven flat off the M4 at J4 all rule out a BS AU 159 patch, so a replacement goes on instead. Driving flat to reach a better spot destroys a casing the fitter might otherwise have patched. If you are working a night shift at Harefield Hospital or asleep in Ickenham, arrange access: where the car is, the wheel-lock key, and a message once the Ickenham job is complete.
