Windscreen wiper blades replaced professionally. Front and rear blades fitted correctly for your car. Clear vision in rain, no streaking or juddering.
### Tired of Smeared Windscreen?
Old wiper blades don't suddenly fail - they **gradually get worse** until you don't remember what clear glass actually looks like. Every journey in rain is squinting through streaks, leaning forward, constantly fiddling with washer spray.
Then you get in someone else's car with new wipers and realize how bad yours have been for months.
I replace wiper blades with quality ones that actually work. Correct size, proper fitting, smooth operation. You'll wonder why you put up with the old ones for so long.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If your wipers are leaving streaks but the blades look fine, clean your windscreen thoroughly first. Road film and wax can cause juddering even with new blades.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **First rain after new blades fitted?** They might judder slightly for the first few uses while the rubber beds in. Clean windscreen helps. If they still judder after a week, something else is wrong. **Winter approaching?** Change blades before the bad weather. Don't wait until first proper rain to discover your wipers are useless. **Rear wiper also bad?** Do it at the same time. Often overlooked until you actually need it, then you find it's perished and useless.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wiper blade change in Sidmouth
When should wiper blades be replaced?
When they leave streaks, judder across the glass, leave unwiped patches, or make horrible noises. Usually every year to 18 months. Rubber degrades from sun, heat, frost, and use. Don't wait until they're useless - change them when they start underperforming.
Can you fit wiper blades I've already bought?
Yes - if you've bought the right ones. Common problem is people buy wrong size or wrong fitting type. Bring them and I'll fit them if they're correct. If they're wrong, I can get the right ones.
What's the difference between cheap and expensive wiper blades?
Lifespan mainly. Cheap blades work fine for 3-6 months then degrade fast. Better quality blades (Bosch, Michelin, etc.) last 12-18 months easily. Up to you whether you want to change them twice a year cheap or once a year good.
Why do my wipers judder even when they're not that old?
Usually dirty windscreen - clean glass properly first. Sometimes it's the wiper arm tension or the wrong blade for your car. Occasionally it's damaged windscreen coating. Try cleaning thoroughly before assuming blades are bad.
Should I change both sides even if only one is bad?
Yes - if one's worn, the other isn't far behind. They've both done the same mileage and work. Change both now rather than doing one this month and the other next month when it fails too.
