Northern Car Glass - Glass Repair and Replacement

Windscreen repair is the environmentally friendly alternative to replacement and if you have fully comprehensive insurance you can usually get a stone chip repair done for FREE or from as little as £35 inc vat.

The carbon footprint of a repair is much smaller than the one produced by the manufacture of the replacement windscreen and the recycling of the old one.

The "colour" is in the PVB interlayer not the glass. The glass picks up the colour from the interlayer, the repair resin will do exactly the same.
