    I requested that a window in front of my house be restored as the local youths decided it would be funny to throw stones, the staff came round, assessed the window quickly, asked what I would like & a new one was brought round a week later with the design I requested. I have had no problems with it, the fitment is great, it looks perfect and the staff were extremely kind and courteous, if the owner is reading this review, I would like him to know that I will seriously consider visiting again.

    Andrew came recommended to me via a friend and he proceeded to do an amazing job, repairing and fitting my old leaded windows, he also did a brilliant job on a commission piece, which he made himself from my initial idea. I fully recommend him if you'd like a brand new leaded window design or a full leaded window repair job.
