Windscreen Replacement FAQ

Windscreen Replacement FAQs

You can choose to bring your car into any of our centres nationwide or opt to use our free mobile service, where we come to you! Our mobile service is on offer all year round, and we’ll come to any location on the mainland or one connected to the mainland by bridge. Please note that in the event of rain, we must be able to work on the vehicle undercover, as you cannot install new car glass in wet conditions.
Sorry!
It is not possible for us to bill your insurance company directly on your behalf.

We are nevertheless very happy to help you if you wish to book, pay and then claim it from your insurer.
The price of a windscreen depends on your car's make, vintage and equipment. You can quickly and easily obtain an exact price online on ukcarglass.co.uk. ARE YOU INSURED? If you have insurance that covers all or part of the windscreen replacement, you don’t need to contact your insurance company – you can quickly and easily book a glass replacement time online and we’ll liaise with your insurer for you!
If you use our mobile service, we’ll arrive at the address you give us between 8 am and 5 pm. You’ll receive a call 30 minutes before we arrive. Our technicians typically need just an hour (or less) to complete the car glass replacement. Please note that the car must be left stationary for at least 30 minutes after the glass replacement. If you bring the car to a UK Car Glass centre, we should manage to complete the glass replacement that same day. We’ll call you to come and collect the car when it’s ready – at 5 pm latest, but probably before that.
All of our glass comes from the same manufacturers who supply glass to the car factories. Therefore, our glass replacements meet all the original equipment (OE) requirements. The only difference to the glass we use is that it doesn’t bear the stamp of the car brand. So with us you get the same high-quality glass that you would at an authorised car repair shop.
A chip can be repaired if it’s smaller than a pound coin and at least 5 cm away from the edge of the windscreen. If you’re uncertain about whether or not your window can be repaired, please visit one of our departments, where we’ll conduct a free review of your windscreen or simply send us an image on WhatsApp or email.
Most times you can only see a chip repair if you really, really look for it. Occasionally, however, a shade or matte stain is left behind.
A windscreen chip or crack usually takes 15 minutes to repair.
As with windscreens, we come to your location to replace your side window or rear windscreen. That’s right, our mobile service applies to all car glass!
The most common reason for a spreading crack is a change in temperature. If you have any damage to your windscreen, it’s important to get it repaired as soon as possible. Cracks also spread in relation to their position and any jarring or bumping of the car along rough roads. Any pressure on the inside of the windscreen, especially near the damage, will also cause it to spread. Finally, a crack that is contaminated (for instance, one filled with liquid) is also likely to spread. Place a sticker or tape over the damage to keep it dry and clean until you can get it repaired or replaced.
ADAS is an acronym for advanced driver-assistance systems. ADAS have been developed to enhance vehicle safety and offer greater comfort. They do this by alerting the driver to potential problems and also, when necessary, activating safeguards that take over control of the vehicle. ADAS include features like adaptive cruise control, assisted braking lanes departure, and road sign recognition.
A windscreen cannot have a chip larger than 1 cm in the driver’s line of sight to pass the MOT. A chip or crack larger than 4 cm anywhere on the windscreen will almost certainly result in a failed MOT.
If it rains during replacement, then we will find a new day with you. unless you have a garage etc.
No! That would be unfair. :)
Yes, our technician will alert you 30 minutes before he or she is due to arrive. You’ll also get a phone call the day of the car glass replacement to confirm your time slot.
The main cause of corrosion is a previous windshield install that was done improperly. It's therefor important for installers to clean and prepare before putting the glass in.
We calibrate all types of equipment. Some equipment needs special conditions to calibrate and therefore it might be necessary for you to drive to the nearest workshop to get your car adjusted with the new windscreen.

You’re also asked to give the location where you’d like us to come and a date that suits you. Then sit back and enjoy the magic! Our technician will call you the morning of the glass replacement to confirm a two-hour time slot with you. He or she will call again half an hour before arrival.
When it’s raining or there’s strong wind, we need some cover in order to complete a car glass replacement. If you become ill or need to change your appointment for any other reason, please let us know in good time so that we can reschedule the car glass replacement for you.
We always do a parts check before installing the new glass, but please follow the guidelines int the webform carefully to ensure we come with the correct glass. Please don’t hesitate to call us either if you have a concern you’d like help with.

Did you know that 90% of all windscreens have a green colour tone? If your front windscreen has a colour tone, then so do your side windows. The fastest way to check for colour tone is to hold a white piece of paper against a side window. The paper will take a slight green or blue hue if the window has a colour tone.
Of course. You’ll have the option to choose the windscreen replacement you want after responding to the questions on the website. These questions help us to determine if you have anything like special electronics that we’ll need to remove and reinstall when we replace your windscreen.
The quality of our windscreens is set by our supplier. Our supplier manufactures and buys windscreens made by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) but that are used on the aftermarket. What this means is that the windscreens we use are often the same quality as OEM windscreens, they just don’t have the car brand’s logo printed on them.
