Windscreen Wiper Replacement in Romford

Wiper blades are easy to overlook until they fail – typically in the middle of a heavy downpour.

At London Road Tyres in Romford, we stock a range of wiper blades for most vehicles and can fit them quickly, usually while you wait.

When to Replace Them

Wiper blades should be replaced when they start to smear, streak, skip across the screen, or leave clear patches. Rubber degrades with UV exposure and temperature cycling, so even blades that don’t look visibly damaged can have lost their effectiveness.

A good rule of thumb is to inspect them once a year – autumn is probably the best time, ahead of the wettest season – and replace them if there’s any doubt about performance.

Blade Types

Most modern vehicles use flat (beam) wiper blades, which conform to the curve of the screen more effectively than the older traditional frame type. Some vehicles use a flat blade on the driver’s side and a traditional blade on the passenger side. We’ll make sure you get the right type and size for your car.

Rear Wipers & Washer Jet Issues

We also replace rear wiper blades and can investigate issues with washer jet alignment or blockages. If your washers aren’t reaching the screen properly, it’s often a simple fix.
