How do I know what windscreen variant my car has?

You don't need to know. Our online widget asks a few quick questions — make, model, year, and a couple of feature details — to narrow the variant down. Once booked, our parts check team verifies the exact specification against your VIN before the job is dispatched.

Will the ADAS camera need recalibrating?

Almost always, yes, where a forward-facing camera is fitted. The technicians in our network include ADAS-calibration-certified specialists — we confirm whether your job needs a workshop or can complete on your driveway when we book.

Is the replacement glass OEM or aftermarket?

Your replacement glass matches your original factory specification — same size, features and trim fitment as the glass the car left the factory with. It's UK-approved for the road and typically supplied by tier-1 manufacturers like Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, and AGC. OEM-branded glass (with the vehicle-maker logo) is available on request at a higher price.

Can you come to my home or work?

Most windscreen replacements happen at your chosen location — home, office, or car park. Some jobs are better suited to a workshop — for example, windscreens with ADAS cameras needing static calibration, or where access to power, shelter, or controlled conditions makes the work safer indoors. We let you know when we confirm your booking.

How long does a windscreen replacement take?

Most windscreen replacements take 45–90 minutes of the technician's time. ADAS calibration extends the technician's time on the job, but cure time runs in parallel — so it doesn't usually delay when you can drive. Your technician will confirm exact timings on the day.

Does my insurance cover this?

Most UK comprehensive policies include glass cover, typically with an excess of £75–£100. If your insurer is on our approved list, the specialist you're matched with bills them directly and you just pay the excess. Otherwise you can pay UK Car Glass directly and claim back from your insurer — our all-inclusive price is often lower than the excess anyway, so paying direct can work out cheaper.

Two years on workmanship defects — water leaks, wind noise, bonding failures — from the date of replacement. If the specialist's work isn't right, we arrange to put it right under the warranty process.

About this area

Leicester is a major urban centre in the East Midlands, with a diverse vehicle population spanning nearly 500 windscreen jobs across 21 postcodes. Ford, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen dominate the local fleet, though you'll also find strong representation from Audi, Mercedes, and Toyota. The city's compact geography means most drivers are within a short commute of the city centre itself, making mobile replacement straightforward for our partner technicians.

The busier postcodes—LE2, LE3, and LE4—account for a significant share of bookings, reflecting Leicester's concentration around the centre and inner suburbs. Whether you're dealing with a stone chip on the ring road or a full replacement in one of the outlying districts, booking through UK Car Glass connects you with experienced fitters who know the local road network. All work comes with a two-year workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind across the LE postcode area.

Quick efficient service competitive pricing

The technician was fast, efficient, polite, professional and personable. A great experience. The glass was sourced quickly. I had actually originally booked with Autoglass and they could not source the glass and been waiting 2 weeks before uk car glass took on the job and had the whole thing completed in a matter of days and at a much better price. The communication was also excellent and I was kept informed at every stage.This was in the North West Leicestershire area

Very impressed

This comment actually applies to two orders for the same car and carried out together. I was not present when the work was done, but i'm told that the technician was excellent and the work was concluded efficiently and well. We've already recommended your service to several people, but of course we hope not to have to use you too often!

My windscreen cracked and I was really…

My windscreen cracked and I was really struggling to find anyone who could fix it quicker than 2 weeks. Then I came across UK Car Glass online and was pleased to find that not only could they fit me in within a few days but also at literally half the cost the everywhere else ( including big companies like auto glass ) ! I booked in and Steve cake out to fix my car. The service was fantastic and so efficient . I didn’t need to stop working ( I was working from home ) , I got a call to tell me when they were on their way and passed them my keys when they got here and 25 minutes later the windscreen was replaced and the car was good as new ! I’m so pleased with this service, I will recommend it to everyone I know ☺️

Very Happy Customer

I needed a rear windscreen for my Peugeot after some swine decided to smash the previous one and the process could not have been simpler. The website was very easy to use and a full price was displayed within moments. Having decided to go ahead, I was phoned the next day by the local company to arrange the fit and Simon the fitter turned up bang on time. He completed the job quickly and without fuss, and I could not have been happier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend UK Car Glass.

Price quoted was less than price charged!

I was quoted a price which was confirmed and then got a phone call telling me that the glass would be £120 more than quoted and I could either cancel or pay the extra. The actual fitting was completed at the booked time and was carried out in a professional manner by a friendly fitter.
