About Plant Glazing Services

Commercial windscreen specialists with family roots going back to 1992 - the workshop that comes to your machinery, wherever it is standing.

Who we are

The workshop that comes to your machinery

Plant Glazing Services is the plant and commercial glazing specialist in the Motorway Windscreens family. Based at 32 Crosby Road, Scunthorpe, our fully mobile unit supplies and fits replacement glass for plant machinery, agricultural equipment, cranes, lorries, coaches and buses - sourcing glass off the shelf where it exists and cutting it to size on site where it does not.

Every job is carried out by our highly trained team to health & safety requirements and manufacturer recommendations, and because machinery off the road costs money, we work to keep downtime to an absolute minimum.

Site safety

Carded technicians, ready for your site

Every Plant Glazing technician carries a Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) card, so we can sign in and get to work on your site without delay.

Where your site requires it, we also have technicians holding CCNSG Safety Passport and CCNSG Supervisor cards. Requirements vary from site to site, so just tell us what yours needs when you book and we'll send the right people.
