New stained glass door panels West Norwood SE25

W Norwood stained glass

Although not a particularly complicated pattern we were happy to spend quite a bit of time with the clients finalising the details, and deciding on the glass to be used.  Their new door was a little unconventional in design, and the fitting presented some small challenges!  Our clients were very taken with a detail in one of our restoration projects and we copied the style of the small centre circle, using red flashed glass, sandblasted to remove small areas of colour, and then traditionally painted with the rose design.

Catford, London, SE6 restored stained glass

Stained glass Catford

One of these 2 main panels has become unstable with age, and various attempts had been made to address this, but it had reached the end of its life, and we took it apart, rebuilding with new lead, replacing broken pieces.

Burglary damaged stained glass replacement, Balham, London, SW12

Stained glass, Balham

An all too frequent example of a burglar smashing the leaded glass to get to the lock, on the off-chance that the door wasn’t double locked or dead latched.  In this case the panel was so comprehensively damaged, with several lost pieces, this coupled with its unusual shape led us to make a copy, rather than try to salvage the original.  Our client commented: ‘I just wanted to email and say how thrilled we were with the new window you fitted yesterday.  The result is fantastic and looks very much like the original – we really appreciated the attention to detail that you gave it.’

New stained glass door set Sydenham, London, SE26

Sydenham stained glass

We copied the original pattern from the neighbour’s door to produce this set of 4 leaded glass panels, the originals having been replaced with plain textured glass at some point.  We did however make some small changes to the original design with the agreement of the client, that we all felt enhanced the
appearance.

Semi-circular leaded glass fanlight with number

Stockwell stained glass number fanlight

An example of a number in a leaded glass panel using the traditional ‘pub window lettering approach’ with the numerals being made from individual pieces of white flashed opal glass.  Our client commented: ‘Thank you again for my lovely window. I am very pleased.’
