At Ageless Leadlights, every piece we repair tells a story—of craftsmanship, history, and beauty worth preserving. Our latest repair projects have once again reminded us of the quiet satisfaction that comes from restoring a damaged leadlight window or door and seeing it return to its former glory.
Recently, we had the pleasure of working on several residential leadlight windows dating back to the early 20th century. Time and the elements had taken their toll—cracks had formed, panels had bowed, and some of the old glass was beginning to fall away from weakened came. But as always, our commitment was to treat each piece with the respect it deserves.
We approached these restorations using the same traditional methods that were employed when the windows were first created. This means no shortcuts—just genuine care and time-honoured technique. Each panel was carefully dismantled, cleaned, and rebuilt using traditional linseed oil putty, preserving the authenticity and integrity of the original craftsmanship.
There’s something truly special about watching a dull, damaged panel come back to life. The rich colours gleam once more in the sunlight, and the design—sometimes whimsical, sometimes solemn—shines through, renewed. For the homeowners, it’s more than a repair; it’s a return of something deeply sentimental and beautiful. And for future generations, it’s the promise that this piece of art will endure for many years to come.
Whether it’s a heritage entryway, a feature window, or a forgotten panel in need of love, we treat every repair with the same level of dedication and care. Our goal is simple: to ensure these precious leadlight pieces are enjoyed not just today, but long into the future.
If you have a leadlight piece in need of attention, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Let us help you preserve its story.
