Restoring Edwardian windows from a vestibule
The panels were badly damaged, with the lead crumbling and falling apart. A few panels had been replaced over the years with clear or mismatched glass, and other areas were broken. The panel was stripped down, with as much intact glass salvaged and cleaned, broken glass was replaced with similar, and the panels were re-leaded, with reinforcement tape added and steel bars wired to the reverse. Zinc outer came was used to give them extra strength.

Repair for kitchen cupboard door
The panel was slightly too big for the cupboard door, which caused the lead to warp and bulge out in the centre. The lead was torn and damaged due to the warp, so the panel needed to be re-leaded. A slightly smaller outer lead was used to give extra space for the panel, and areas were shaved down for a good fit before it was reinstalled in to the cabinet door.

Door panel repair
Damaged glass was removed and replaced with a close matching glass, damaged/old lead was replaced and steel  rods were added for additional strength and to prevent any warping with it being a high-traffic door.

Repair of E. A Taylor panels circa 1900
The panels were bought at auction by customer, they were attached to a backing board and framed which damaged the surrounding lead and some of the internal.
The backing was removed, damaged lead was replaced and panels were re-cemented. Frame was changed to zinc with a heavy-duty steel wire installed internally to the zinc came, to allow them to be suspended from the ceiling.

Conservation of Daniel Cottier panel circa 1870-75
Most of the surrounding painted border was broken, with the lead coming apart. We removed the damaged lead and preserved as much of the internal design's lead as possible. Old cement was removed, and the painted details were carefully cleaned and retouched if needed. Some breaks were bridged using lead to give extra support, other breaks were edge-bonded with specialist epoxy (mostly the external border) in order to conserve as much of the original glass work as possible. Strengthening rods were added that didn't impact the design, and the panel was framed in a hardwood frame to give it extra strength when hanging.

Repair of 1980's art student panel 'Tree of Knowledge'
The customer had bought at auction, it depicts the snake from the garden of Eden, the apple and Eve, and the tree of knowledge. The piece had never been cemented, with much of the glass loose causing the lead to warp out of shape and tear in places.
The damaged lead was replaced, with joints soldered and other areas tidied up and re-soldered.
The panel was then cemented and polished.

We cannot undertake very large scale restoration projects such as church windows due to the nature of our studio, running workshops and other large projects. It is recommended to contact a specialist restorer for this type of work.
