Fixed competitive pricing helps you know where you stand before the work begins. That makes it easier to plan the job without nasty surprises.
Fitted for everyday and working vehicles
We replace windscreens on private vehicles as well as vans and commercial vehicles. That means you can call us for one family car or part of a working fleet.
Safe windscreen replacement for every vehicle
We provide professional car windscreen replacement throughout Peterborough, helping restore the strength, safety, and visibility of your vehicle. A damaged windscreen forms part of the vehicle’s structural integrity, making replacement essential when cracks or severe damage occur. We complete every installation using qualified and experienced technicians who fit high-quality replacement glass with manufacturer-approved adhesives. myWindscreen®carries out each replacement with care, ensuring the vehicle remains road-legal and suitable for everyday driving. Let us provide prompt assistance and arrange a replacement service that suits your schedule.
Why prompt replacement is important
We recommend replacing damaged windscreens or vehicle glass as soon as possible because even a small chip can spread into a larger crack through temperature changes and normal road vibrations. Damaged glass can reduce roof strength, affect airbag performance during a collision, and limit visibility while driving. Replacing the glass promptly helps prevent more extensive repairs and supports safe driving in all weather and road conditions. We replace everything from severely damaged windscreens to other vehicle glass, helping maintain the overall strength and protection of your vehicle.
A careful replacement process from start to finish
We complete most vehicle glass replacements and window conversions within one to three hours, depending on the make and model of the vehicle and any additional cameras or sensors fitted to the glass. Whether replacing damaged glass or carrying out a professional window conversion, we carefully remove the existing glass, prepare the surrounding frame, apply manufacturer-approved adhesive where required, and fit the new glass to precise tolerances. After installation, we allow the adhesive to cure correctly before the vehicle is driven, helping achieve a secure bond that supports long-term performance, reliability, and safety.
Certified glass with an accurate system calibration
We fit OE-standard or equivalent replacement glass that meets recognised quality standards for modern vehicles. Many cars include Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with cameras or sensors attached to the windscreen, making calibration an important part of the replacement process. We use suitable equipment to recalibrate these systems after installation, where required, helping features such as lane assist and automatic emergency braking continue operating correctly. myWindscreen® provides a complete replacement service that considers both the glass itself and the technology connected to it.
Insurance support and convenient local service
We help make vehicle glass replacement straightforward by providing clear quotations and explaining all expected costs before work begins. Many insurance policies include cover for windscreen or vehicle glass replacement, often with only a small excess, and we regularly work alongside major insurers to simplify the claims process. Private customers receive transparent pricing covering replacement glass, labour, and any required calibration. We also offer same-day appointments where available, handling everything from damaged windscreens to full vehicle glass replacement. Let us provide a fast quote and restore your vehicle safely with minimal disruption.
What to expect during a windscreen replacement
Replacing a windscreen is a straightforward process when completed by experienced technicians. Understanding each stage can help you know what to expect from the moment you book your appointment until your vehicle is safely back on the road.
1. Assessing the damage
The first step is determining whether your windscreen requires a repair or a full replacement. Small chips can often be repaired, but larger cracks, spreading damage, or chips located within the driver's line of sight usually require replacement to maintain safety, visibility, and the structural integrity of the vehicle.
2. Choosing a qualified windscreen specialist
Selecting an experienced company is essential for a safe installation. Always choose technicians with the appropriate qualifications who use high-quality replacement glass and approved installation methods.
When choosing a provider, look for:
-
Certified and experienced technicians
-
High-quality OEM or equivalent replacement glass
-
Positive customer reviews and recommendations
-
Professional workmanship backed by industry standards
3. Booking your appointment
Once you've chosen your windscreen specialist, simply arrange a convenient appointment.
We offer a fully mobile service and can carry out the replacement at:
-
Your home
-
Your workplace
-
A family member's or friend's property
-
Any safe location where the work can be completed without causing disruption
As each vehicle requires the correct OEM windscreen, we usually require a little notice so we can order the appropriate glass. As part of a trade supplier network, we only order windscreens when required, helping avoid unnecessary storage costs that would otherwise be passed on to customers.
4. Preparing your vehicle
Before the technician arrives, removing personal belongings from your vehicle is helpful.
We also recommend removing:
-
Dash cameras
-
GPS devices
-
Phone holders
-
Dashboard accessories
This allows the replacement to be completed more efficiently.
5. Removing the damaged windscreen
The technician carefully removes the existing windscreen by:
-
Cutting through the existing adhesive
-
Removing surrounding trims and mouldings
-
Safely lifting out the damaged glass
Every step is completed carefully to avoid damage to the surrounding bodywork.
6. Preparing the vehicle frame
Before installing the new windscreen, the frame is thoroughly inspected and prepared.
This includes:
-
Removing old adhesive
-
Cleaning the bonding surface
-
Checking for corrosion or damage
-
Applying fresh, manufacturer-approved adhesive
Proper preparation ensures a secure, long-lasting bond.
7. Installing the new windscreen
The replacement windscreen is then carefully positioned and aligned before being pressed into the adhesive.
Correct alignment is essential to ensure:
-
A proper seal
-
Maximum structural strength
-
Correct positioning within the vehicle
8. Reinstalling trim and finishing components
Once the windscreen has been fitted, all trims, mouldings, and seals are reinstalled.
The technician checks that every component fits correctly and that the finished installation looks neat and secure.
9. Allowing the adhesive to cure
The adhesive must cure before the vehicle can be driven safely.
Depending on the adhesive used, this usually takes between 30 minutes and one hour. We often use advanced curing methods to reduce waiting times while ensuring the bond reaches the required strength.
​10. Final safety inspection
Before the job is completed, the technician carries out a final inspection, including:
-
Checking for water leaks
-
Cleaning the replacement glass
-
Inspecting the windscreen wipers
-
Confirming the installation has been completed correctly
11. Payment and customer feedback
Once you're happy with the completed work, payment can be made using:
-
Debit or credit card
-
Mobile banking transfer
Following payment, your technician may send a Google Review link by text message. Customer feedback helps other motorists choose a trusted local windscreen replacement specialist, and we always appreciate your support.
12. Looking after your new windscreen
To achieve the best results after replacement, we recommend:
-
Allowing the adhesive additional time to fully cure before unnecessary driving
-
Avoiding automatic car washes for the first 24 hours
-
Using the windscreen wipers gently during the first day, where possible
-
Watching for new chips or cracks and arranging repairs promptly
Regular care helps maximise the lifespan of your new windscreen.
