Glass Repair and Replacement

Call 07507 864821 or select required service


Although we will always first try to repair any windscreen damage , sometimes the damage is too severe and the whole windscreen has to be replaced. However, we can carry out windscreen glass replacements quickly and efficiently, at a time and place that suits you.

Unlike a windscreen, if a side window is damaged it will need to be replaced. At VehicleGlaze, we only use glass manufactured to OEM standards, whether sourced from original equipment manufacturers or other suppliers, ensuring that the glass we fit is as good as the original piece of glass we are replacing.

More often than not, rear windows are heated and sometimes contain antennas for radio and GPS systems, Our highly skilled technicians are trained to deal with all option possibilities. We will also give the affected area a mini valet, in an effort to remove as much glass as possible.
