Your Windows may need repairing after time , the reason for this is mostly due to wear and tear. Stained Glass although a durable barrier between you and the elements, will over time perish .
Generally the lead will detieorate to the extent that it will separate from the Glass , and then become unstable .
Doors are more vunerable to this process than Windows due to the continual vibration they undergo . Glazing Bars may also come loose from the Stained Glass Window , thus accelerating further damage.

There are a number of other Glass repairs we are happy to undertake , these includes the Glass frontage on Cabinet and Bookcase Doors . We understand that these items are often very old and of great sentimental value .
These items can be faithfully restored with little fuss , and at very reasonable prices . Usually we will take the door off at the hinges , and work on the Leaded Glass in our Studio , returning the fully repaired item to you generally within one week
