What Window Tinting Gives You
Cooler cabin, no UV, more privacy — and legal where the law says it has to be.
Serious heat rejection
A good ceramic film keeps the cabin noticeably cooler in summer — the air con stops fighting the sun, and a black interior stays sittable.
99% of UV blocked
The reason dashboards crack, leather fades and one arm tans more than the other. Film stops it, even on a nearly clear film.
Privacy where you want it
Rear windows dark enough that nobody sees what’s on the back seat at the lights.
Less glare
Low winter sun and headlights behind you at night are both noticeably easier with film on the glass.
Glass held together
Film keeps shattered glass in place rather than in the cabin — a real benefit people never think about until it matters.
Legal on the fronts
Front sides must pass 70% of light and the windscreen 75%. We fit to the law and tell you exactly what you can have.
Window Tinting Detail
Film types
Choose oneStandard privacy film
The classic dark tint for rear windows. Gives you privacy and cuts glare, with decent UV blocking. The most affordable option and the most common.
Chameleon / colour-shift film
Shifts colour with the angle and the light — purples, blues and golds moving across the glass as you walk around the car. A genuine head-turner, and usually fitted on the rears or as a sun strip.
Ceramic film
The one to have if heat is what bothers you. It rejects far more infrared than a standard film at the same darkness, so you can have a light film that still keeps the car cool — which matters on front windows where the law limits how dark you can go.
Sun strip
A band across the top of the windscreen, in a colour or with your name or make on it. Cuts low sun glare and finishes the front of the car off.
Light & headlight tint
Rear light and headlight film, in smoke or colours. Legality depends on how dark it goes — we’ll be straight with you about what’s road legal.
What the law actually says
UK rulesFront side windows & windscreen
Front sides must let through at least 70% of light. The windscreen must let through 75%. Those limits include the glass itself, which on a modern car is often already tinted from the factory — so there’s less headroom than people think.
Get it wrong and it’s a prohibition notice, a fine, and a car that fails its MOT. We measure and fit accordingly.
Rear windows
No legal limit at all behind the driver — rear sides and the rear screen can be as dark as you like, including limo black.
Sun strips
Fine as long as they stay above the swept area of the wipers and don’t obstruct your view.
How we fit it
IncludedWindows deep cleaned first
Every speck of dust under a film shows forever. The glass is cleaned, scraped and re-cleaned before the film goes anywhere near it — this is most of the job.
Computer-cut or hand-cut patterns
Cut to your exact glass, heat-shrunk to the curve of the window, and tucked into the seal rather than trimmed at the edge.
Curing time
The film looks slightly hazy or patchy for a few days while the water behind it evaporates. That’s normal. Don’t wind the windows down for 3–5 days and it’ll clear on its own.

Set Up Your Maintenance Plan
Start with a Full Valet to reset the car, then keep it that way with regular visits at up to 30% off — priced by how often we come.
Full Valet
The reset. Maintenance only works from a proper starting point — a maintenance visit keeps a clean car clean, it can’t undo months of build-up.
Every week
The car never really gets dirty. Ideal if it lives outside, sits under trees, or you just want it right all the time.
Every 2–3 weeks
Keeps on top of road film and traffic grime before it bonds to the paint. A good balance for most daily drivers.
Every 4–6 weeks
About as long as you can leave a car and still keep it right with a Mini Valet.
Less often than that?
Past six weeks a Mini Valet won’t hold a car — the interior needs more than a tidy-up. We’d rather point you at an Interior Deep Clean than sell you the wrong service cheap.
