Does stained glass and UPVC really go?

This is the proof that indeed it does! I was recently called to a clients house who had had their original stained glass fanlights removed from their bay windows in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol. They had installed UPVC windows in their place, but realised they had made a mistake in not re-using the pretty leaded panels. They asked me if I could help. It was no trouble for me to resize the panels, adding new colourful red and yellow borders. I then took the newly sized and restored panels to my glazier who fitted them into sealed double glazed units, which he then installed into the clients house. This is the beautiful result. Just goes to show old and new work incredibly well sometimes!

Listed cottage restoration project

We have just finished restoring the damaged leaded windows at a beautiful little picture postcard cottage down in Somerset. The building is Grade 2 listed, but this didn't present a problem for us as the glass can be stripped of the old leads and re-leaded with pretty much exactly the same materials as when it was first built. The whole job took around 6 weeks to complete, and the owners were  particularly pleased with the results. While the windows were out and work was being carried out on them on the bench, the owner restored, re-treated and re-painted the metal casement frames they fit into and they looked good as new!
