Yes, we regularly create custom made stained glass and bevelled glass designs from the customer’s own ideas. Visit our Client Pages where you will see some designs that have been placed onto this site for the client’s approval.

Yes, we supply a proof for every order placed with us. You will get to see how your glass design looks in your sizes before we start work on the actual glass. This is a standard service and every client receives their own proof before manufacture. Most proofs are emailed to the client but some are uploaded to the Client Pages section of the website.

Yes, many of the glass panels we create are made into sealed units for double glazing. We can also supply single glazed or triple glazed.

We sell glass all over the U.K and we accept orders from around the world so we do not visit the clients address to measure up. We have a handy measuring guide to help the client take their own measurements.

No we don’t — unfortunately we have seen requests for traditional leaded lights fall dramatically over the years, so we do not offer this type of glass.

Yes, we can create Etched Glass designs and Overlay Stained Glass designs using 7mm, half hour fire rated glass. Fire rated glass is flat and clear so textured glass cannot be requested. Bevelled designs and fused glass designs cannot be made using fire rated glass. Fire rated glass is a lot more expensive than standard toughened glass so it is only priced on request.

Upon receipt of payment, most jobs will be completed within 2 to 4 weeks, but this depends on your time of ordering so please call us on 01536 205777 for a more accurate estimate.

No, we use this website as our brochure. This website is a much better tool for choosing designs, and it keeps the costs down — the savings are passed on to the customer.
