Making Stained Glass & Leaded Lights – A Start to Finish Service
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.
Repairing & Restoring Existing Stained Glass & Leaded Lights
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.
