Windscreen replacement
in Portishead & Clevedon
Coastal, which matters more than it sounds. Salt in the air is hard on mouldings and trim, and we check the aperture more carefully on older cars out here than anywhere else on the patch.

Sea air is hard
on a windscreen surround
Salt does not attack the glass. It attacks everything holding the glass in, which is what makes coastal cars worth a closer look before a new screen goes near them.
When we cut an old screen out here we quite often find corrosion starting under the trim where a previous fitter left bare metal unprimed. We prime it properly and tell you what we found, with a photo if you want one.
Mouldings and clips go brittle faster in salt air, which is one more reason we fit new ones as standard rather than trying to reuse whatever survives the cut-out.
Wind is the practical problem on the day. A stiff onshore breeze carries dust straight into a fresh bed of urethane, so we work the sheltered side of the car or move into a garage if you have one.

BS49The questions
that come up most
Does sea air really affect the job?
It affects what we find when the old screen comes out. Corrosion under the trim is far more common on coastal cars, and it has to be treated before a new screen goes on or it will come back.
Can you work on the seafront?
Usually, but wind decides it. A stiff onshore breeze puts dust into fresh adhesive, so we will work the sheltered side of the car or ask to move somewhere out of it.
How often do you come out this way?
Several times a week, and we group the coastal jobs where we can. Ask when you ring and we will tell you the next day we are already coming.
Is there a travel charge for the coast?
No. Portishead and Clevedon are on the patch and the quoted price covers getting there.
Along the coast
The coastal run takes in Pill on the way down and Yatton on the way back, so anywhere along that line is usually the same day as Portishead or Clevedon.
