Service was great, staff courteous, job completed promptly on the day.
Two issues:
1. Earliest booking 7 days.
2. Couldn't get a home repair so had to take a day off work to go to site.

The guys here were really helpful. It’s a bit detached from Reading (you could get a bus in) but there’s a Costa across the road and better still, there’s a large room at the repair centre which you can work in. Ideal if you need to wait around.

6 February2025:
National Windscreens (only approved Aviva installer) replaced windscreen that had cracked. Entailed 2 hours’ wait in bleak south Reading.
Next day, I noticed heated screen element gridlines could not be observed. Frost on a subsequent day was not dispersed by the screen.
Contacted NW, who suggested a faulty electrical connector and arranged a mobile remedy.
The day before the remediation date (24 Feb) we were supposed to be informed of the time the fitter would arrive. This didn’t happen but on the morning of the date the fitter rang and asked to come at 10am. This was not convenient, and I let him know that I suspected the wrong windscreen had been fitted. The fitter, very obligingly, changed his time of arrival and promised to bring a correct windscreen. He proved as good as his word and fitted the new screen on that rainy Monday afternoon. Subsequently the heater element has proved operational, and the screen has not noticeably leaked in wet weather.
Comment:
Whilst the outturn was completely satisfactory, I wonder why the correct screen was not fitted in the first place. Was this a genuine mistake or was cost a factor in the decision to install what was presumably a much cheaper screen? The suggested faulty connector was not mentioned by the 24th February fitter; was this just a story to placate me? A less alert customer might not have questioned the job quite as promptly as we did. By the time the fault was firmly established as existing, the guarantee might not have been as solid or indeed might have expired altogether, or a multitude of excuses might have been offered.
Also, I was not best pleased that Aviva Insurance offered no alternative screen installers – Reading was a bit of a stretch for us, living in Newbury as we do.
