Worth the drive from Derby
Window tinting for Derby drivers happens at our studio on Churchfield Court, Bewcastle Road, in Nottingham. It is 18.3 miles from Derby, and outside rush hour the drive takes about 26 minutes along the A52 (Brian Clough Way) and the M1.
You won't be leaving your car with us all day. Our technicians tint the rear half of any car in under an hour and 3-door hatchbacks in about 30 minutes, so you can wait while we work, in our cosy waiting area or at the nearby shops and restaurants.
The film comes from Global Window Films, and the lifetime warranty is backed by both us and that supplier, so even if anything happened to us you would still be covered. It sits alongside our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
Getting here from Derby
From Derby, follow the A52 (Brian Clough Way) and the M1. The studio is on the north side of Nottingham, at Churchfield Court on Bewcastle Road, with parking on site.
Shades and UK tint law
There is no need to settle on a shade before you leave Derby. We keep a display piece of glass in our office showing every shade, so you can compare them side by side and decide on the day.
UK law lets you tint rear windows any shade. Front driver and passenger windows must let through at least 70% of light and the windscreen 75%, and factory glass already lets through less than full light, so we only tint from the B pillar back (gov.uk rules). Our window tinting page has the full shade guide.

Derby window tinting questions
How far is TintTech Nottingham from Derby?
Our studio at Unit 10, Churchfield Court, Bewcastle Road, Nottingham NG5 9JL is 18.3 miles from Derby. Allow about 26 minutes outside rush hour, using the A52 (Brian Clough Way) and the M1.
Do I have to leave my car if I come from Derby?
No. We don't ask you to drop your car off and leave it for hours. The rear half of any car takes under an hour and 3-door hatchbacks about 30 minutes, so you can wait with us and head back to Derby afterwards.
Are window tints fitted to the outside or inside?
Window tints are applied to the interior side of the glass, which protects the film and gives a smooth, professional finish. You may see us working on the outside of the glass, but that is just preparation before the film goes on the inside.
What if it's faulty?
Our window tints come with a lifetime warranty covering bubbles, peeling, fading or colour changes. We stand by the quality of our work, giving you complete peace of mind.
What shade is most commonly chosen?
The most popular window tint shade we offer is 20%, striking the perfect balance: it never looks too dark and never looks too light. For those seeking maximum privacy, we recommend our 5% tint, which offers the highest level of coverage.
How long till I can roll down my windows?
Keep your windows up for at least 5 days after tinting so the film bonds properly to the glass. They still work in an emergency, but rolling them down too soon could cause the tint to peel.
Will I be pulled by the Derby police?
Rear tints in any shade are legal, so they shouldn't be a reason to stop you. The law covers the front: the windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%. Factory glass already lets through less than full light, so even a light film can take the fronts under that limit, which is why we only tint from the B pillar back.
Can window tint be removed?
Yes, window tint is fully reversible. We offer a removal service, just call us for a quote, or you can peel the film off yourself and clean any adhesive residue with a glue remover.
Will my vehicle pass an MOT in Derby with window tints?
Rear tints won't fail an MOT: it is not illegal to tint your rear windows in any shade you prefer. The MOT checks the front glass, which we leave untinted. If you ever have an MOT issue related to tints, contact us and we will help resolve it.
Will the film cause any issues with the rear defroster lines?
No. The film is applied directly over your demister lines without causing any damage, and the demister continues to work normally.
Does my car need to be clean upon arrival?
A clean car helps but is not essential. Please make sure the exterior is reasonably clean, as excessive dirt or mud can interfere with the tinting process. We clean your windows thoroughly before applying the film.
Will the window film applied affect my radio signals in Derby?
No. The film we use is non-metallic, so it won't interfere with your vehicle's signals, including GPS, radio or mobile phone reception.
