30+ years of leaded light conservation

Trusted With Heritage Windows

We at Art in Glass have over 30 years' experience in the repair and conservation of leaded light windows in churches and historic buildings across the UK, including Burghley House and Hardwick Hall.

For how we can help with your damaged leaded lights, see the details of how we repair and restore stained glass, elsewhere on this site.

What Causes the Damage?

Lead and solder deterioration is the major cause of damage to lead lights and stained glass.

  1. Lead & Solder Deteriorate

    Over the years the lead came and soldered joints that hold each piece of glass slowly break down.

  2. The Panel Weakens

    The weakening of the panel structure allows movement to occur.

  3. The Glass Cracks

    That movement ends up cracking or breaking the individual glass segments.

Leaded Lights in Metal Frames

Many leaded lights sit in original steel or iron casements. When the frame is corroded or no longer opens properly, we can restore it alongside the glass through our metal casement window restoration.
