Does W5 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

Say the street in Little Ealing, the code W5, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Can every flat tyre in W5 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W5 is only suitable when the damage is in the central tread and the tyre can come off the wheel for an internal patch. Sidewall cuts in Little Ealing are replacements.
