Also in your experience is it best to go through the insurance or buy your own, will it put insurance up next year ?

Windscreen doesn't affect your no claims on your insurance.
The insurance company would prefer you had a good windscreen rather than obscured vision and the possibility of having a accident.

I’m still not convinced, it’s only £50 extra than the excess anyway so just going to pay it myself, Iv had it before when I notified them of an uninsured driver hit me but I didn’t claim, still cost £100 extra next year when they made me declare it so I don’t trust them at all.

My insurance went up £40 in Nov because I had a new screen 2013 and a Free repair 2016, not really Free when they are now loading the policy for the nxt 5 years (that's how long you have to declare)
