A nail found on the morning of a Royal Free shift or a UCLH appointment cannot wait for a slot. Where the diary allows, the fitter comes to Belsize Park or Bloomsbury and patches it that day.
Camden is full of people who cannot lose a morning: nurses starting at the Royal Free on Pond Street, hospital appointments at UCLH, school runs down from Highgate and Dartmouth Park, hotel staff in Bloomsbury with a guest's car. When the tyre is down on a permit bay at eight in the morning, a depot on Finchley Road is not the answer. If the puncture is a nail sitting mid-tread, the car can be repaired on the street before you have to leave.
Call early with the street, the bay and where you need to be by when. Name the hour the car must move by, and you hear honestly whether NW3 or WC1 can be reached before your deadline. Then the fitter arrives, lifts the wheel, parts tyre from rim and bonds a patch to the hole from inside where the British Standard allows. If the hole is in the shoulder or sidewall, a new Camden tyre is fitted instead, priced on the spot.
Other jobs we do at the car include new tyres fitted and 24 hour tyre service in Camden.
Streets around Pond Street for the Royal Free, the Bloomsbury squares for UCLH, permit bays across Kentish Town and Gospel Oak. Either hospital's car park only with the site's permission, as both are privately run.

How a mobile puncture repair is done →Emergency tyre repair on the Camden page
Dartmouth Park Hill climbs as the A400 from near Gospel Oak station towards Archway, and it is steep in places. If a tyre goes soft on the slope, find a level residential street before stopping, as the jack needs flat ground. Screws picked up across the centre band are normally plugged and patched on site, while a split sidewall means fitting a new tyre.
A same-day repair request starts with a message: a photo of the tyre showing where the nail sits, the sidewall size and the precise location, bay number included. Be open about where the car can be, because a forecourt in West Hampstead or a pay-by-phone bay off Gower Street may suit better than a street with a loading ban. Tell us what you are working around, such as a clinic at University College Hospital, and the day is arranged with that in mind.

Camden puncture on a day you cannot spare? Repaired on the bay if the diary has room.
