Services
Stained Glass
We create and restore stained glass windows combining traditional techniques with modern durability. Our artisans craft bespoke designs for churches, homes, and businesses, preserving historical accuracy while incorporating contemporary enhancements. Each piece undergoes meticulous quality checks to ensure longevity and visual impact.
Leaded Lights
Our leaded light installations feature handcrafted panels with intricate geometric patterns and decorative details. We offer both traditional leaded glass and replica options that mimic heritage aesthetics with modern materials. All installations maintain structural integrity while maximising natural light transmission.
Glazing Services
We provide comprehensive glazing solutions including single, double, and triple-glazed units. Our energy-efficient replacements reduce heat loss while maintaining visual appeal. Specialised services cover shop fronts, safety glass installations, and emergency glass repairs with rapid response times for commercial clients.
Window Restoration
Our restoration experts preserve original window frameworks while upgrading glass components to modern standards. Techniques include repairing damaged lead cames, replacing broken glass with matching materials, and installing draught-proofing systems without altering historical character.
Sandblasting
We offer precision sandblasting for custom glass etching and texture applications. This service creates frosted effects, corporate logos, and decorative patterns on both flat and shaped glass surfaces. Projects range from office partitions to bespoke front door designs with permanent, maintenance-free finishes.
