Stained glass door panels, Peckham

We’d made and fitted the pair of higher level panels on the left of this (rather fuzzy) photo in 2010, and our clients came back for the door panels to be based on the same idea. These are fitted with quite hefty support bars, although their alignment with the horizontal lead lines means they aren’t particularly apparent.

Leaded glass panels, Bromley

These 2 new blue-bordered panels were supplied after one of the original plain leaded lights was damaged – since the glass could not be matched exactly, both panels were replaced.

Care was taken to ensure the central vertical lead lines aligned with those in the top panels. 12mm wide 'round' profile lead was used throughout, with internal reinforcing steel strips.

The middle pieces of this circle had come out of the lead and were at some risk of dropping out. Three out of 4 of the border pieces were damaged. The panel was removed and the space boarded over. After disassembly, we cut new glass to replace the 3 broken pieces, and since we were unable to exactly match the glass, a 4th piece was also cut out to provide a matching set. The panel was rebuilt with new lead, and fitted with 2 vertical retaining bars (not present originally), aligned with the leads, and secured to the panel with tie-wires – this should contribute to the durability of the panel.

Leaded lights, Victoria, Westminster, SW1

There are amongst a set of 7 new leaded glass panels fitted in a newly refurbished apartment in Central London. We worked closely with the client, who was concerned to respect the nature of the building, on the patterns and choice of the glass, and with the contractors who were carrying out the re-modelling.

All the glass is uncoloured, the borders are in Waterglass and the octagons in Crystal Ice, both from Spectrum and the squares, etc in Corella from Wissmach

Stained glass panels. Peckham - Cherries

Our client had a clear idea of how she wanted these new leaded glass panels for a new door to look, and provided a simple sketch. We copied this, adjusting a little, and once this was approved we met to decide on the glass to be used.

Painted glass, Lewisham SE13

This traditionally pained and stained glass panel had suffered considerable damage – including breakage and loss of 7 of the painted pieces.  We disassembled the panel, taking what was left of the painted fragments enabling them to be copied in the context of their neighbouring pieces.
The panel was then rebuilt with new lead and replacing the other cracked pieces from the border.  It was reinstalled in the door with new supporting rods.

Stained glass, Forest Hill, SE23

This quite unusual shaped stained glass door panel has become very loose and at risk of collapsing.  After removal, we made a template from the opening to ensure the rebuilt panel would fit!  The leaded panel was taken apart and salvaged, matching glass cut to replace the broken pieces.  The panel was reamde with new lead and fitted with vertical support rods.
