Repairs

I am very pleased to provide restoration services in
Leadlighting and Copper Foiling methods of Stained Glass.

Do you have a door, window, lamp or other glass treasure that needs repair?

My experience enables me to bring damaged stained glass works back to their former glory.
I work for insurance companies, glaziers and the public.

An indication of price range may be acheived with detailed photographs and measurements
Send detailed photographs and measurements for discussion.

Many glass and lead styles have gone out of production.
Matching similar glass into a pattern means corresponding unbroken pieces are also replaced to make the repair visually well resolved.
If you are open to colour changes in your restoration please discuss.

Notes about restoration quotes:

Repair or rebuild costs will be impacted by the state of the stained glass after it arrives in the studio.
Lead and cement deterioration can not be assessed untill the stained glass is on the table
Quotes are often made for the rebuild of the window, if the work is acheived as only a repair the invoice will reflect that reduction.
Quotes can also include removal, including temporary glazing, scaffolding, transport and reinstallation, including glazing and scaffold. Please discuss your unique circumstances.

Measure the window
Photographs of the known damage or invite a site visit
Discuss if the quote is for restoration work only or if removal and reinstallation, etc is also needed.

Provide exact measurements of the rebate that the glass and lead sit into. You may need to open beading to get this right.
Where the recess is not square a plywood panel pattern that fits the rebate would need to be provided and marked for interior/exterior
Write the following details onto tape on the actual glass. Quote number, Address, Measurements, Phone number
Transport the stained glass on a rigid board and wrapped to keep from pieces being lost.
