Do you have a spare tyre?

No,
Just a can of gubbins which I assume is as old as the car, 8 years.

Given we're virtually under house (and work, a mere 1.5 mile away)
arrest for the foreseeable I wonder about chucking that in and see what
happens.

Well if you are considering doing that, what about chucking something
more likely to make a permanent repair in? ;-)

I think it's those 'get you home' pressurised cans that the tyre
fitters don't like as I'm not sure how easy it is to clean out, if the
tyre could be repaired conventionally.

If you actually wanted / needed to make a 'traditional' (and we know
how out-of-touch / date' some traditions are) repair, then
Punctureseal is water soluble (and non toxic) and so can simply be
washed out with a hose. [1]

[1] I took the rear tyre off the Mrs's XV750 that I had treated with
Punctureseal a good 15 years earlier and laid up for some time. Much
to my surprise the sealant was still stuck around the inside of the
tyre (tread area) and was still mobile (you could scrape it out with
your finger). Because I wasn't going to re-fit the tyre (too old) I
just washed the sealant out with a hose.
