Working in Birkdale

Close to the water, close to the salt

Birkdale is near enough to the bay that salt affects the metal around the windscreen. It is why we treat every bayside replacement as a corrosion check as well as a glass job.

Talk it through with a technician
  • Corrosion under the glass

    Pinchweld rust is the hidden cause of most bayside leaks. Inspected and treated during every replacement.

  • Boat and trailer vehicles

    Tow rigs are the local standard. Larger glass, same on-site service.

  • Quiet streets, easy access

    Off-street parking and room to work. Birkdale jobs run smoothly.

Birkdale FAQs

What locals ask

General questions on the full FAQ page.

Water is getting in around my windscreen but the glass is fine. Why?

Almost always corrosion or a failed seal rather than the glass. Near the bay, salt gets under the edge of the screen and rusts the pinchweld, and once the metal lifts the bond fails. Sealing from the outside rarely holds — the screen has to come out so the metal underneath can be treated properly.

Does living near the water shorten a windscreen's life?

Not the glass itself, but the surrounds. Rubbers perish faster, cowl fixings corrode and the pinchweld rusts. Bayside vehicles are noticeably more likely to have leak or seal problems than inland ones of the same age.

Can you work with the boat trailer in the driveway?

Usually — we need about a metre of clear space down one side of the vehicle. If the trailer is in the way we will ask you to move it or unhitch, which takes a minute and costs nothing.
