 | We design,
produce, install and repair stained glass and leaded
lights. This page shows some of our work, which is mostly in South
London. Click here to see some of our newer stained glass projects.
We make and repair stained glass and leaded lights to order
using traditional methods and materials. They are fully weather
proof, but can also be used in interior decoration. They are
generally for regular glazing (an alternative to clear or obscured
glass, or to replace original panels that have been lost), or for
hanging or mounting in front of existing windows, including double glazed units. They may be installed
within double glazed sealed units. We also undertake repairs to stained glass and leaded lights. .
We:
- produce new stained glass panels to match or complement existing glass
- work with you and your designs to produce new stained glass
- prepare and execute designs from your ideas and brief
- come up with design ideas for you
- install the finished piece
if required (its common for newly installed windows to be backed up
with regular or toughened glass for additional security)
- work with traditional materials - lead cames (or
calms) and coloured glass, cut by hand to the design (the
cartoon), fitted together (leaded up), the lead
joints fluxed (with tallow) and soldered together,
cemented in (with a special putty) and finally finished
with blacklead.
- we dont use self adhesive lead strips combined with
coloured lacquers to create our work, although we can suppy such
panels, usually double glazed. We feel this method lacks the visual
impact and 'life' of a traditionally made leaded panel.
