RESTORERS AND DESIGNERS OF BESPOKE STAINED GLASS AND LEADED WINDOWS
We specialise in the conservation of Victorian, Edwardian and arts and crafts-style glass, and we are skilled in a wide range of techniques, offering both traditional and contemporary design to a diverse body of customers.
While our origins lie in the North West, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire in particular, our enviable reputation has led to interest from further afield, meaning we now operate on a national level.
Most notably, we have worked on a number of restoration projects for English Heritage and the National Trust.
Other esteemed clients include: Gorton Monastery (St Francis' Monastery) - a World Heritage Site; Manchester Town Hall; Buxton Opera House; St Steven’s Tavern, Westminster; St Mary’s Church, Windermere; Salford City Academy; St Mary's Church, Disley; and TV programmes for Granada Television include Coronation Street, Cold Feet, Sherlock Holmes and University Challenge.
We also supplied and glazed clear antique glass and oak sash windows to The Cage at Lyme Park, Disley, Stockport for the National Trust and often use Heritage Double Glazing in listed buildings.

Victorian Railway Viaduct produced on 10mm toughened glass for the ballustrade panels at the new Aquinas 6th Form College.
As part of the detail design for the new Salford Academy Stained Glass window, we created an L S Lowry scene showing the old Salford.
Polish antique glass was used throughout. The sash windows below were reglazed with a blue Polish antique glass to match the feature window.
