As a general rule we try to conserve
as much of the original material
as possible. Often we are replacing perished leads,
while carefully cleaning, repairing and conserving all
historic glass.

We
can utilize 'isothermal glazing techniques',
where original historic glass is remounted internally in metal
frames and a sympathetic leaded glazing is re-fixed in the
original glazing position. This achieves the objective of
removing precious glass from the elements and the risk of
vandalism.
 |
We use reversible conservation techniques
wherever possible. |

and after repair to part of the Christopher Whall stained
glass windows in Gloucester Cathedral. |
We
also undertake the protection of glass
in the form of supplying and fitting wire guards (most often
now, - powder-coated stainless steel weldmesh), or other materials
such as polycarbonate sheet or toughened glass.
