Repairs, new work, prices

Repair, make new, keep warm. And learn it yourself.

Four kinds of work, with the prices. For restoration, size and the number of pieces count, which is why you always see a “from” price. After a photo we give you the exact price.

Restoration

Your transom or sidelight re-leaded, with its own glass.

Lead lasts about a hundred years. After that a panel bulges, starts to rattle or lets water in. We take the panel out, dismantle it completely in the studio and re-lead the glass. We replace broken pieces with old glass of the same colour and thickness from our own glass bank. So you get your own window back, just straight and watertight again.

New windows

A window to your design, from sketch to cartoon to glass.

A new window starts with your house: the frame, the architectural style and where the light comes from. Charlotte makes a colour sketch and then a full-size cartoon, with every piece numbered. You choose the glass with us at the light table, in daylight. In 1930s style, Amsterdam School or clean and modern.

Insulation and secondary glazing

Warm in the hallway, without losing the lead.

A leaded window is single glazing. You can make it warm without ripping the window out. With secondary glazing on the inside, by setting the panel in HR++ insulated glass, or with protective back glazing for a listed building. We measure the rebate and the frame and tell you straight which solution suits your window.

There’s room for four at our light table. In a morning you make a small panel of 20 by 20 centimetres, in four evenings a window of your own.

Glass from our racks

Six kinds of glass, hundreds of colours

Never choose glass from a photo. Drop by on Saturday and we’ll hold the sheets up to the light for you.

Antique glassMouth-blown, with bubbles and streaks. Every sheet is different; the light comes alive in it.
Cathedral glassRolled, with a fine hammered texture. The glass of most 1930s windows.
Patterned glassWith a relief of diamonds, flowers or ‘Chinchilla’. Lets light through, but nobody can see in.
Opal glassMilky. The light comes in soft and even, lovely in a hallway or bathroom.
Flashed glassClear glass with a thin layer of colour, often ruby. You can etch a design out of it.
From the glass bankOld glass from demolished houses, 1900 to 1960, sorted by colour and thickness. A matching piece for every crack.

Lead worn out, or just a crack?

Send a photo from inside, with daylight behind it. Then we’ll tell you whether it’s a repair, a restoration or secondary glazing, and what price to expect.
