If you notice a chip or crack that is larger than a 10‑pence coin, located in the driver’s line of sight, or appears to be spreading after temperature changes, call a windscreen repair service right away to prevent the damage from worsening.
Ask whether the technician is certified (e.g., AGRSS or Thatcham), if they offer a mobile service in Hackney, what resin they’ll use, how long the repair will take, whether the work comes with a guarantee, and if they can bill your insurance directly or provide a written quote.
Gather your car’s registration, make and model, the exact location and size of the chip, a few clear photos, your insurance policy number (if applicable), and ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, shaded spot with the windscreen clean so the technician can work safely.
