Stained glass restoration and security – Ladywell, Lewisham, SE13

stained glass lewisham SE13
These 2 panels, probably replacements for the originals, had begun to deteriorate and bow outwards.  We rebuilt them with new lead, replacing the broken pieces from the border.  For extra security and durability they were fitted behind laminated (rather than toughened) safety glass.  We had to machine the rebates in the door deeper; as there was insufficient depth to accommodate the extra thickness of the security glass.

Fitted April 2013

Lewisham leaded light repairs


Stained glass LewishamPart of a number of stained glass repairs and restorations we were commissioned to complete by the main contractor maintaining a number of housing association properties.  This particular panel, which was not original to the door – which had been modified to enable it to fit, was in a very poor state, and was partly rebuilt and fitted behind a panel of laminated safety glass.

Completed October 2012
