01 / Professional Capability

The specialist work, clearly defined.

Glass, diagnostics and calibration can sit within one agreed scope. The actual work depends on the vehicle and the instruction, rather than a fixed package applied to every job.

Vehicle Glass

  • Windscreens

    Replacement and stone-chip repair.

  • Other vehicle glass

    Side, rear and quarter glass; van and commercial glazing.

  • Specialist glass work

    Remove and refit, windscreen resealing and leak investigation.

ADAS / Technical

  • Camera & radar

    Calibration where required by the vehicle and applicable procedure.

  • Static calibration

    Carried out at Horizon's Cardiff facility.

  • Dynamic calibration

    Where appropriate to the vehicle, procedure and conditions.

  • Diagnostics

    Vehicle scanning where instructed, with relevant evidence retained.

02 / The Job Trail

Documented from inspection to handover.

The repairer manages the repair. Horizon manages the agreed Vehicle Glass and ADAS stage. The record helps a partner understand what was instructed, carried out and handed back.

  1. 01 / 06

    Instruction & identification

    Establish the instructed scope, identify the vehicle and confirm the glass or component required.

  2. 02 / 06

    Pre-work inspection

    Document relevant vehicle and work-area condition before the agreed stage. Photographs and technician records are included where appropriate.

  3. 03 / 06

    Glass & technical work

    Carry out the agreed vehicle-glass installation, repair or other specialist work using the relevant procedure.

  4. 04 / 06

    Diagnostics & ADAS

    Assess and carry out scanning or camera and radar calibration only where required by the instructed work and applicable vehicle procedure.

  5. 05 / 06

    Post-work inspection

    Inspect the installation and relevant vehicle functions after work. Condition photographs and technician sign-off form part of the record where appropriate.

  6. 06 / 06

    Record & handover

    Communicate the outcome of Horizon's stage, including relevant inspection records and any applicable diagnostic or calibration documentation.

Documented from arrival to handover.

Relevant jobs can include pre-work vehicle condition inspection, photographic evidence, post-work inspection and technician sign-off — creating a clear record of the vehicle and Horizon's agreed stage of work.

  • Pre-work inspection
  • Photographic record
  • Technical documentation
  • Post-work sign-off

03 / Technical Evidence

Evidence follows the work.

ADAS requirements depend on vehicle specification, fitted systems, work undertaken, the manufacturer procedure and, where relevant, operating or environmental conditions. A scan or calibration is not assumed for every vehicle.

Where calibration is carried out

The relevant calibration report is retained and can be supplied as part of the job documentation.

Where scanning is instructed

Relevant diagnostic scan evidence is retained and can be supplied as part of the job documentation.

Documentation is job-dependent and relates to Horizon's instructed specialist stage, not the wider repair file.

04 / Technical Credentials

Named technical expertise.

Horizon director Luke Young holds current individual IMI accreditation as an Auto Glazing Bodyshop Technician and as an ADAS Calibration Technician.

Auto GlazingIMI Auto Glazing Bodyshop Technician
ADAS CalibrationIMI ADAS Calibration Technician — ACC230-24

Both credentials are current through 2028.

05 / Quality & Workmanship

Installation quality, with a defined guarantee.

Correct glass and component identification, workmanship-focused installation, relevant vehicle-function checks and documented pre- and post-work inspection all support a clear handover.

Lifetime workmanship guarantee

Horizon provides a lifetime workmanship guarantee on vehicle-glass installation for as long as the current vehicle owner owns the vehicle. It covers the workmanship of the glass installation, not the ongoing validity of an ADAS calibration.

06 / South Wales Delivery

The right setting for the required procedure.

Cardiff Facility

Workshop & static calibration.

Horizon's Cardiff facility supports workshop vehicle-glass work and static ADAS calibration.

Mobile / Partner Support

Support across South Wales.

Vehicle-glass work can be mobile where operationally appropriate. Dynamic calibration can be mobile where the vehicle, procedure and conditions allow. Static calibration remains at the Cardiff facility.
