Windscreen chip repairs

in South Yorkshire

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. Sent flying at high velocity from a speeding car wheel, these tiny items can easily scratch or chip a windscreen.

AREAS WE COVER

Why are chipped windscreens so dangerous?

It is easy to dismiss a chipped windscreen as nothing to worry about. After all, most of these incidents result in little more than a tiny dint in the glass. However, windscreen glass is a carefully-engineered piece of construction. Left unattended, windscreen chips can lead to a whole host of larger problems.

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.
