Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

How long does a windscreen replacement take?

Most windscreen replacements take 1-2 hours. However, you'll need to wait at least 1 hour after fitting before driving to allow the adhesive to cure properly.

Will my insurance cover the cost?

Many insurance policies cover windscreen replacement, often with no excess. Check with your insurer — we can provide documentation for your claim.

What if my car has ADAS cameras?

If your vehicle has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) cameras mounted on the windscreen, these will need calibrating after replacement. Our technicians can arrange this.

Can I get my windscreen repaired instead?

Small chips (smaller than a £2 coin) away from the driver's line of sight can often be repaired. Our technicians can advise on the best option.
