A screw from a King's Road site found at midnight in your Chelsea bay is a repair, not a new tyre. The repair can be done at the kerb before morning.
Late-night punctures here are the same refurbishment screws that cause the daytime ones, found later: a pressure warning on the drive back from the A4 into Earls Court, a tyre visibly low in a Notting Hill mews after a late return, a porter's message about a car in a South Kensington basement. Provided the hole sits centrally and nobody drove on it deflated, it can be repaired at night and kept, rather than replaced at the cost of an expensive run-flat.
The machine comes to the bay or mews, the tyre comes off, and the inside is inspected before a BS AU 159 patch-plug is bonded in, assuming a central hole within 6 mm. Wheel back on, balanced, torqued. The repair charge, no different at night, is quoted before the van leaves Brent Cross, and should the tyre prove beyond repair the options are put to you at the car, not afterwards.
Other services from the same Brent Cross team: locking wheel nut removal in Kensington and Chelsea and van tyre fitting.
Your resident bay in SW3, SW5 or W8, a mews anywhere in Notting Hill, a basement with a night porter, or a paid bay near Sloane Square outside charging hours. The Cromwell Road, Brompton Road and Warwick Road red routes apply at night too.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Kensington and Chelsea page
A tyre found flat after an evening near Gloucester Road station, Earl's Court station or South Kensington station can often be repaired at the kerb. Park in a legal bay with street lighting, note the road name and house number, and send a photo of where the object entered the tread. If it is repairable, the work is done there; if not, a new tyre is quoted.
Some midnight punctures in Kensington and Chelsea cannot wait for a patch. A screw buried in the shoulder, a nick in the sidewall, or a run-flat pushed deflated from Knightsbridge to Holland Park leaves a casing that must be replaced. If you will be asleep or at work, tell the porter or concierge, agree how the keys are handed over, and say where the locking key is. The car needs to sit where the fitter can reach it: a resident bay, a mews or an accessible basement.
