Walking out to a flat on a Bordesley Green terrace, or to the car at the end of a hospital shift, is miserable. Do not drive on it. Ring and the fitter comes out.
A tyre found flat on Cherrywood Road could hide a screw, a failed valve, a bead leak on a corroded rim or a cut on the inside face. None of that can be judged from the pavement, and all of it gets worse if the car moves. Even crawling to the end of Blake Lane can crush the sidewall. Nurses leaving Heartlands after a night shift feel the pull to limp home; it usually costs them the tyre.
Message the size and the street, adding a photo if possible. At the car, air goes back into the tyre, the leak is traced with soapy water, and the verdict follows on the spot: a hole well inside the tread shoulders gets a BS AU 159 patch-plug, a valve is swapped, and a damaged sidewall means a new tyre. You hear which, and what it costs, before any work is done. For a hospital car park, confirm the van can enter.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Bordesley Green page
On Bromford Lane, the A4040, a flat tyre needs a quick decision: carry on slowly to the nearest side road or stay put if that is unsafe. Coleshill Road and the streets around Ward End have turnings where you can stop clear of traffic. Once parked, switch on the hazard lights, then call with your location and the tyre size.
Look round all four wheels before you call. Then study the flat one: is there a nail or screw embedded in the tread face, a valve that looks bent or perished, or a gouge from a Belchers Lane kerb? Driving to a garage on it, even the short way down Bordesley Green, turns a small leak into a ruined tyre. A space-saver in the boot will do for a short, gentle run, not for days of commuting to Heartlands. Leaving the car where it is usually works out best.
