What is Windscreen Replacement?

Understanding when and why you might need a new windscreen

Windscreen replacement is the process of removing your damaged windscreen and fitting a brand new one. Unlike small chip repairs, a full replacement becomes necessary when:

  • The crack is longer than 10cm or a chip larger than 40mm
  • Damage is in the driver's line of sight (affecting visibility)
  • The damage extends to the edges of the glass
  • Multiple chips or cracks are present
  • The inner layer of laminated glass is damaged

Your windscreen isn't just about keeping the wind and rain out. It's a crucial safety component that provides up to 30% of your vehicle's structural strength and is essential for proper airbag deployment in an accident.

At UK Windscreens, we use only high-quality, manufacturer-approved glass that meets all UK safety standards. Our replacements restore your vehicle to its original safety specifications, ensuring you can drive with complete confidence.

Did you know?

Driving with a damaged windscreen can result in:

  • MOT failure
  • Potential fines from police
  • Insurance policy invalidation
  • Compromised safety in an accident

Don't take risks with your safety. If your windscreen is damaged, getting it replaced promptly by professionals is the safest option.

What if My Vehicle Has an ADAS Camera?

Expert calibration for advanced safety systems

Understanding ADAS Systems

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use cameras and sensors often mounted on or behind your windscreen to provide safety features like:

  • Lane departure warning
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Traffic sign recognition
  • Forward collision warning
  • Pedestrian detection

When your windscreen is replaced, these cameras and sensors need to be precisely recalibrated to ensure they function correctly. Even a slight misalignment can compromise your vehicle's safety systems.

Important Safety Information

Driving without proper ADAS calibration after windscreen replacement can lead to:

  • False alerts or failure to alert when needed
  • Incorrect automatic braking or steering
  • MOT failure (as of 2021, ADAS calibration is checked)

Our ADAS Calibration Service

At UK Windscreens, we provide comprehensive ADAS calibration as part of our windscreen replacement service for vehicles that require it.

Static Calibration

Performed in controlled conditions using specialist equipment and calibration targets.

Dynamic Calibration

Requires driving the vehicle under specific conditions to allow the systems to self-calibrate.

Manufacturer-Specific Procedures

We follow vehicle-specific calibration procedures as required by each manufacturer.

Our technicians are fully trained in ADAS calibration and use the latest equipment to ensure your vehicle's safety systems function correctly after windscreen replacement.

Common Vehicles with ADAS

Many modern vehicles now come equipped with ADAS features, including:

Audi
BMW
Ford
Honda
Mercedes-Benz
Toyota
Volkswagen
Volvo

If you're unsure whether your vehicle has ADAS features, our technicians can check this for you when you request a quote.

Common Questions About Windscreen Replacement

Everything you need to know about getting your windscreen replaced

How long does windscreen replacement take?

A standard windscreen replacement typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete. However, vehicles with complex features like rain sensors, heating elements, or ADAS cameras may take longer due to the additional setup and calibration required.

Can I drive immediately after windscreen replacement?

We recommend waiting at least 1 hour before driving after windscreen replacement to allow the adhesive to initially set. For optimal safety, it's best to wait 24 hours before driving at high speeds or on rough roads. Our technicians will provide specific guidance based on the adhesive used and weather conditions.

Will my new windscreen look exactly the same as my old one?

We use high-quality, manufacturer-approved glass that matches your original windscreen in terms of size, shape, and features. Any tinting, shading, or special features like rain sensors or heating elements will be preserved. In most cases, your new windscreen will be indistinguishable from the original.

What happens if it rains during my mobile windscreen replacement?

Light rain usually isn't a problem as our technicians can work under portable shelters. However, heavy rain or extreme weather conditions may require rescheduling as moisture can affect the bonding process. We'll always contact you in advance if weather conditions might impact your appointment.

Do I need to clean my car before windscreen replacement?

While a full car clean isn't necessary, it's helpful to clear the area around your windscreen both inside and out. Remove any valuables from the dashboard and ensure there's enough space for the technician to work. Our technicians will protect your vehicle's interior and clean up thoroughly after the installation.

What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket windscreen glass?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is made by the same manufacturer that supplied your vehicle's original windscreen. Aftermarket glass is made by third-party manufacturers to similar specifications. We offer both options, with OEM glass providing an exact match to your original windscreen, while quality aftermarket glass offers a more cost-effective alternative without compromising safety.
