Back from a late airport shift with a screw in the tread? A Yardley puncture can be repaired on the drive overnight, so the tyre is saved rather than replaced.
Night repair exists to save tyres that would otherwise be lost. A slow leak on a South Yardley drive left until morning may be fully flat by breakfast, and limping to a garage on it wrecks the sidewall. Getting a hole patched in the small hours, while the casing is still sound, keeps a good tyre in service. This page is about out-of-hours repair only: objects in the central tread, inspected from inside and fixed to BS AU 159.
Ring with the size, the address and roughly when the leak appeared. By lamplight the fitter removes the wheel, finds the screw and checks inside. A screw hole no bigger than 6 mm, away from either shoulder, gets a patch-plug bonded to the liner. Damage beyond that is talked through on the drive, and a replacement can be fitted then or arranged later. The repair is quoted before the fitter heads out, at what it would cost by day.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal in Yardley, emergency tyre repair in Yardley or new tyres fitted.
Overnight repairs are carried out on Sheldon and South Yardley drives, Yew Tree estate roads, the Hay Mills streets and at the Swan centre. A tyre that softens on the A45 needs to reach a side street first.

Late-night punctures near Acocks Green station or Spring Road station can be repaired on a quiet street with lighting. Warwick Road Car Park is another landmark to give. Confirm whether the car is parked legally, and say whether the puncture came from a nail or a kerb, so the right repair kit comes out.
Some night calls cannot finish with a repair. Shoulder damage, a cut in the sidewall, a hole over 6 mm, or a liner chewed by a run from Swan Island on no air all mean a new tyre, because the casing can no longer be trusted. If you will be asleep before an early airport start, or on shift yourself, leave the car on the Sheldon drive, put the locking key where agreed and say whether a message or photo should confirm the outcome.
