Stained glass renovation – Hackney

One of these 2 stained glass panels in Hackney had become damaged, and the other was deteriorated with age.  They were removed; the openings fitted with laminated safety glass to provide protection and security, and then disassembled, and rebuilt replacing the broken pieces, including some of the painted pieces.

Stained glass repair, East London

This pair of quite simple panels, made mainly from low cost regular window glass (Arctic pastern), rather than the 'art glass' often used, had deteriorated such that they were very mobile in the door, plus they were generally undersized, and ill-fitting.  They were removed and the openings securely boarded over, taken apart and the glass washed, then rebuilt with all new lead, and with new glass cut to made them a little longer where they were previously too short for the openings.  We thought the pattern was attractive, showing what can be done with minimal colour.  We turned the job around in 2 weeks.

Rebuilt leaded light door panels, Mile End

The uncoloured glass in this simple door panel is ‘glue chip’, and it had become quite significantly damaged.  It was removed for rebuilding, to match its twin in the door.
