Mobile car tinting across Cheriton, Sandgate and Hythe
Automotive
Car tinting at home or work
Darren Baldock comes to your address to fit car window film in Folkestone. You can have the work done on your driveway or in your workplace car park, with all the fitting equipment carried in the van. It has its own power supply, so you don’t need to arrange electricity for the job.
Our mobile coverage reaches Hythe and Sandgate. A full car usually takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to tint, depending on your car. The film’s fitted inside the glass, which means rain won’t stop your appointment.
Global Tint Folkestone
Choose the film for your car
For a Folkestone fitting, you can choose from five film shades for the rear side glass and rear windscreen. Onyx lets 5% of light through, Luna 20%, Twilight 35%, Fifty 50% and the lightest option 70%; the tint viewer shows these on your car’s make and model. Your installer advises on legal shades for the front windows, taking the existing glass into account. Car film helps reduce glare and heat, adds privacy and blocks up to 99% of UV.

A three-minute look at a Global Tint installer fitting window film where the customer’s car is parked.
What happens when the installer arrives?
They look over the car, go through the shades and which are legal on each window, then fit the film from inside the car. Most cars take 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and you get a warranty card, a microfibre cloth, a keyring and care instructions at the end.
Does the weather matter?
Rarely. The film goes on the inside of the glass, so rain doesn’t stop the job, and the van carries its own power and everything the installer needs.
What if something goes wrong later?
Car tint comes with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car. If it peels, bubbles or fades, the installer comes back to your home or workplace and fixes it.
How we work
Everything comes on the van
The van is independently powered and carries everything the installer needs, so you don’t have to provide electricity or a garage. A driveway or a workplace car park is enough.

What you get with every car
Every car tint has a lifetime warranty while you own the car, and the job isn’t finished until you’ve seen the result.
A clean handover
Before leaving, the installer goes round the car with you so you can see the finished windows, and leaves the car clean.
Lifetime warranty
For as long as you own the car. If the tint peels, bubbles or fades, we come back to your home or workplace to fix it.
Aftercare kit
A warranty card, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a keyring and care instructions. Small water bubbles or a slight haze are normal while the film dries, and they clear on their own.
The Global Tint way
Fitted where your car is parked
Global Tint has tinted cars since 2010, and every installer is trained to the same standard at our training facility.
Rain or shine
The film goes on inside the car, so a wet day doesn’t cancel your booking.
Backed while you own the car
If the tint peels, bubbles or fades, we come back to you and put it right.

Perfect Job
“Booking the appointment was easy and Darren arrived on time within the time booked, after reconfirming the time with a quick phone call that day. He was patient and helped me choose the best tint for my requirements. 100% would recommend to anyone”
Mark Portman3 April 2026 - Car tinting
“Well all of the positive reviews were right ! From start to finish Renan was outstanding. We discussed the tint shade that I had selected and agreed that it was right. Despite installing in 30+ degree heat Renan didn't stop. He clearly knows his stuff and his advise about drying time etc was spot on. The tints have totally transferred the car and has made a real difference. Thank you ! Keep up the good work ! Thanks Dean”
