New tyre and fitting is £200.
Checked Kwik Fit and a local place near Brixton and both looked at where the screw was (edge of sidewall and the flat) and said that they couldn't patch it because of the location and that it would be a new tyre.
Kwik Fit is £20 more expensive but would acquire it and fit it on Monday... the local garage was fine with me ordering it online and them fitting it but would charge £40 to fit if I ordered it, but were more expensive if I ordered it from them.
Have booked in with Kwik Fit as it wasn't terribly overpriced and the local place being willing to install if I ordered was enough to convince me neither was selling a tyre unneeded.
Sucks though... £200 less than 3 weeks in. London road debris is bad.
