Window Releading
Our stained glass restoration work often complements our bespoke stained glass design services and our experience in preserving historical stained glass windows in churches, listed buildings, and period properties.
If a panel is badly damaged, the best way to restore the stained glass will be to remove it from the frame and bring it back to our workshop for releading. The frame will be boarded up with a board cut to the same size as the stained glass and fitted into the frame rebate. Releading is where we take apart the stained glass panel, clean the glass pieces and remake using new leads. Any broken pieces are also replaced. The panel can then be fitted back into the existing frame using steel strengthening bars if required.
