WINDSCREEN SERVICES

Automotive Glazing Service has been supplying customers within Sheffield and surrounding areas with expert windscreen chip repairs, windscreen replacements and van conversions for over 30 years

WINDSCREENS

We are well-known for the quality of our windscreens. Customers across South Yorkshire have benefited from chipped windscreen repairs, windscreen replacements and more since we started trading in 2002.

In the years since

We have earned ourselves a reputation for excellence across the county. Much of this is thanks to our existing customers, many of whom recommend our services to friends and family. We always take these recommendations seriously and aim to live up to our reputation.

WINDSCREEN CHIP REPAIR

Of all the windscreen services we provide here, chipped windscreen repairs are easily the most common. Most of us have experienced a chipped windscreen at one time or another. Whilst small, they must not be left without treatment, or they will only get worse. At Automotive Glazing Services, we provide a quick and easy windscreen chip repair service every time.

WINDSCREEN REPAIR

Windscreen repairs aren’t always as simple as filling in a tiny chip in the glass. Sometimes the damage is more severe and requires a different approach. Whatever has caused the damage to your windscreen, we can provide you with the right solution. We have the tools, materials, and expertise to get your car windscreen looking good as new.

WINDSCREEN REPLACEMENT

Of course, sometimes a windscreen repair isn’t enough. If the damage to your windscreen is too bad, there may be no choice but to fit a windscreen replacement. If that is the case, then you have come to the right place. Using high quality glass from some of the industry’s top manufacturers, we ensure a first-rate windscreen replacement every time.

WINDSCREEN CHIP REPAIRS

Anybody who has been driving on British roads for any length of time will have experienced a chipped windscreen. It is, by far, the most common form of windscreen damage in the UK. It is usually the result of stones, gravel, or other hard pieces of debris ricocheting off moving car wheels. 

Here at Automotive Glazing Services

We are experts in repairing chipped windscreens. We use state-of-the-art tools to complete all windscreen chip repairs in a fast and efficient manner. Our two glazing centres in Rotherham and Sheffield welcome customers from across South Yorkshire in need of chipped windscreen repairs.

REDUCED VISION

Even the smallest chip in your windscreen can reduce your field of vision. The larger the chip and the more central, the worse your vision is obscured. Even small chips that veer off to the edges of windscreen can pose a safety risk. They soon become a distraction whilst driving, as you spot them in your peripheral vision.

WINDSCREEN INTEGRITY

Your car windscreen is a unique piece of glazing technology. It is specially toughened to resist direct impact damage, but this has more to do with its design than thickness. Small windscreen chips weaken the windscreen’s structural integrity, becoming larger or developing into cracks. This can result in a simple windscreen chip leading to a full replacement.

MOT TEST FAILURE

Depending on the position of the chip, its size, and severity, it can cause your car to fail its MOT test. This decision is based on the pair of consequences listed above. Both hampered vision and a weakened windscreen are valid grounds for failing your MOT test. A windscreen chip repair, performed by professionals, can save you this hassle.

WINDSCREEN REPAIRS

Most of the windscreen repairs we perform are as a result of chipped windscreens. However, our skills and experience extend much further than that. We have been trading since 2002, delivering high-quality windscreen repairs of all sorts to our South Yorkshire clients. Working from our glazing centres in Rotherham and Sheffield, we provide windscreen repairs across the county. This includes our valued clients as far away as Barnsley, Doncaster, and beyond.

HAIRLINE CRACKS

Aside from chips, scratches and hairline cracks are the most common typed of windscreen damage. Repairing them is easy, using many of the same techniques. Once we are satisfied that the damage is not too severe, we apply a resin injection that fills the gap. It also smooths it out, giving it the same transparency as the original glass.

LEAKS AND CONDENSATION

Windscreens need to be properly sealed if they are to deliver the sort of performance you expect of them. Sometimes the seals come loose, either due to wear-and-tear or poor installation. Whatever the reason, at Automotive Glazing Services, we can fix that for you. Once we reseal the windscreen unit, you will be able to see things clearly again.

IMPACT DAMAGE

Many things can cause impact damage – from falling branches to road traffic accidents. While this often requires a replacement windscreen, if the damage is not too severe, we can still fix it. Much will depend on the size and location of the damage. If it’s fairly light and located towards the edges, a windscreen repair may still be possible.

WINDSCREEN REPLACEMENTS

We try our best to repair

Any windscreen damage rather than giving you a windscreen replacement. We have been part of the South Yorkshire car glazing trade for almost twenty years. In that time, we have seen our fair share of damaged windscreens from customers across the county. We always give a fair appraisal of any windscreen based on the size and extent of the damage. We only recommend a windscreen replacement where a repair is either impractical or impossible. 

We have two glazing centres

In the South Yorkshire area – Rotherham and Sheffield. From here, our team of mobile windscreen technicians cover the whole county, including Barnsley, Doncaster, and beyond.

PREPARING FOR REMOVAL

We start by covering your bonnet to prevent any accidental damage during the windscreen replacement. Next, we remove any equipment or accessories from the glass itself. These normally include a rear-view mirror and windscreen wiper but can also cover cameras and sensors. Once these have been removed and safely stored away, we can take out the glass.

REMOVING THE OLD 

Where the glass is in one piece, we can remove the windscreen in the same way, taking care not to drop it. If the glass has been penetrated or shattered, it’s a slightly more involved process. We need to remove the whole windscreen, piece by piece, while also trying not to injure ourselves.

INSTALLING THE NEW

We apply a quick-drying adhesive to the edges of your new windscreen before carefully placing it into position. The replacement windscreen will soon set in place and be ready for immediate use. Once we are satisfied, we can apply a weatherproof seal to prevent condensation and leaks. Finally, we re-attach any equipment we had to remove from the original windscreen.

VAN CONVERSIONS

Sturdily constructed

They are regularly put to a wide range of uses by private and commercial owners alike. However, most vans come with little in the way of glazing options, which can be a problem. If you have a specific role in mind for your vehicle, the right sort of glazing is essential.

Here at Automotive Glazing Services

We provide high-quality van conversions for customers across South Yorkshire. Working from our glazing centres in Sheffield and Rotherham, we help van owners throughout the county with their van conversions. This includes our valued private customers and commercial clients as far afield as Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham, and beyond.
