We are a home based business in Bushmead, Luton, Bedfordshire and have been making and restoring traditional leaded lights for over 20 years. Myself John, an apprentice served craftsman, and Joanna work together to provide the very best in stained glass. Our reputation is based on good workmanship and reliability. We undertake many different types of stained glass and leaded light work for many trades and properties. We mainly work on private homes, but a large proportion of our work is for glazing companies. builders, churches, public houses and furniture restorers. Stained glass has always been a character feature in older properties and with the demand for double glazing growing, too much stained glass is being lost forever. We are aware that leaded lights can be draughty, but this is mainly due to the age of the window. Unlike sealed units in double glazing, leaded lights will last for over 100 years before they need any real restoration work. Sealed units will often mist up long before their 10 year guarantee. To preserve your traditional stained glass we recommend secondary glazing. Secondary glazing will give you all the benefits of double glazing, but more importantly you get to keep the character of the property. Most leaded lights that need attention are mainly door panels and opening windows, these take a lot of abuse before they eventually need attention. A simple solution is to have the window remade using all the original glass and re-cemented (waterproofed), This will give the window another lease of life. |

If you have leaded lights or stained glass windows that require attention, then we will be happy to arrange an appointment to view the windows and based on out knowledge submit a quotation within 7 days unless otherwise agreed. If you are interested in adding leaded lights or stained glass windows to your property, then we will either send you a pattern book first to give you a little more time to see what is achievable or again we are happy to give you advice. **Please note that we have a refundable call out charge of £35.00 if you live outside a 25 mile radius of Luton. This means that if you accept our quote then this fee will be deducted from the balance. If, however, you decide not to proceed with our quote, you will be invoiced for this sum. Sometimes we will have to work outside our call out charge zone and will be happy to try and accommodate new customers, without implementing this charge. Always best to ask first. |
