Default Puncture repair

Well, in need of advice so have come to the fountain of knowledge.

I've got a slow leak in my rear tyre - drops about 10 psi in 24 hours. I have looked it over and can't find any obvious leak. Also tried the valve and it's not that.

As I can't tell where the leak is I'm not sure whether a repair would be possible. Essentially I'm asking for advice about where to take the bike in. Anywhere between Kennington and Bromley would be preferable. If the repair isn't possible then Z6's it shall be.

I've found FWR tyres in Kennington (anyone used them before) and of course I'm aware of Essential Rubber.

Any other places with a good rep...? Thanks
