Had the car serviced the other day, and they noted a nail in a rear
tyre, but that there didn't seem to be any leakage.

I see two obvious options:

(1) Remove the nail myself and if there is no air leakage job done. If
air leaks, take to tyre place to fix.

(2) Take tyre to tyre place to fix - which may just result in paying for
them to do the first part of (1).

Going route (1) assumes that if the nail hasn't penetrated the inner
casing (or not enough to cause a leak) then all is O.K.

Does this seem a reasonable approach?

Just an update:

I heeded the majority advice and took the car to our local tyre place.

They put the car up on a hoist, and pulled out a very short piece of metal.

No charge, no problem.

So option (1) would, it seems, have worked.
However you can't really beat free.
