Stained glass is a centuries-old art form that continues to captivate admirers with its beauty and complexity. The process of designing new bespoke stained glass pieces and leaded lights begins with a careful and considered design process, where our skilled artisans collaborate with Lewisham clients to bring their vision to life. Whether it's a small window panel or a grand masterpiece, each project receives the same level of attention to detail.
Once the design is finalised, we move on to the manufacturing phase. This involves selecting the finest quality glass, sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure durability and clarity. Each piece is carefully cut to size before being meticulously assembled using traditional lead came techniques. Leaded lights, just like Victorian stained glass or encapsulated stained glass units, also utilise lead came for authenticity and durability. Lewisham residents still unsure about the differences between the two can learn more by navigating to the respective, dedicated section for each on this website.
Our workshop, alongside the manufacture of new stained glass and leaded lights, also delivers stained glass repairs, leaded light repairs, and stained restoration with precision and care. Over time, stained glass may suffer from damage due to age, weather or accidents. Our team has the expertise to assess the extent of the damage and implement appropriate repairs, ensuring that the integrity of the artwork is preserved for future Lewisham’s future generations to enjoy.
Stained glass restoration is a delicate process that requires a deep understanding of both the artistic and technical aspects of the craft. From cleaning and re-leading to colour matching and glass replacement, our craftsmen work tirelessly to breathe new life into old masterpieces. Whether it's a cherished family heirloom or a historic landmark, we approach each restoration project with the utmost respect for the original design.
We’d like to quickly move on from our stained glass repairs, leaded light repairs, and stained glass restoration services, and touch again on the bespoke stained glass commissions we tailor to our Lewisham clients' specific needs. Whether you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your home or restore a piece of local history, our team is here to bring your vision to fruition. From contemporary abstract designs caught in hardy encapsulated stained glass units, to faithful reproductions of classic Victorian stained glass pieces, we have the expertise to turn your ideas into reality.
To go further into one of our signature offerings, encapsulated stained glass, this is a modern twist on a traditional art form. By sandwiching stained glass panels between layers of clear glass, we create a durable and low-maintenance solution that is perfect for windows, doors, and other architectural features adorning Lewisham properties. Encapsulated stained glass offers the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship with added protection against the elements.
Stained glass and leaded lights are not just windows or decorative elements; they are works of art that enrich our lives and connect us to our cultural heritage.
