How do you choose between in-situ repair and full re-leading?

Minor defects can be repaired in situ. Bowed or fatigued panels are usually removed for full re-leading off-site.

Can you match original glass and patterns on period properties?

Yes — we source textured/obscure/tinted glass and replicate lead widths and patterns to preserve character.

Can you secure the window after accidental damage or a break-in?

Yes. We offer 24/7 make-safe and boarding up, then complete restoration once glass/lead work is ready.

Do you encapsulate leaded lights inside double-glazed units?

Where suitable, we encapsulate restored panels in sealed units to improve insulation while retaining the design.

Are restorations insured and guaranteed?

Yes — work is carried out by insured technicians and backed by an Instant Glass guarantee.

How much do repairs cost and how long do they take?

Costs/timescales depend on panel size, glass availability, lead condition and access. We provide a fixed quote and timeframe after inspection.

Leaded Light & Stained-Glass Window Repairs in London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & throughout the South East

Traditional Leaded
light repair

Residential leaded light window repairs across Southeast England

Leaded light windows can last centuries with a good maintenance and care routine. Also known as leadlights or leaded lights, they are decorative windows made using came glass art; one of the oldest, most traditional glazing techniques still in use today across the UK.

Popular in historic or listed buildings across Southeast England, leaded lights are becoming increasingly rare as modern-day solutions look towards a more uniform, conventional style of window that takes less time and costs less to produce.

Our residential leaded light repair technicians work closely with skilled professionals to repair and restore stained-glass and leaded light windows to their initial designs. At Instant Glass, we can even replicate your leaded light windows to look exactly like the originals.

Leaded light repairs for residential properties in Southeast England

Extend your window lifespan by developing a maintenance routine.

We advise you not to scrub or use any abrasive chemical cleaning products on your leaded light windows that you would usually use on uPVC (plastic) window frames.

Historic glass is vulnerable to scratches. It is also worth mentioning that the came work, casement frames, and glass itself also need to be examined routinely, and repairs made where necessary.

We offer leaded light window repairs to homeowners across Southeast England and 10% off for every new customer that chooses Instant Glass.

Preserving British architecture & traditions. Rely on us for leaded light & stained-glass window repairs & replacements.

At Instant Glass, we believe in preserving leaded light windows using traditional techniques.

One of the main reasons for this is because old glass is becoming increasingly rare, and due to the production cost and time of creating a stained glass or leaded light window, they too are becoming a thing of the past. Regular maintenance is essential for conserving leaded light windows in the home.

Yes. We repair and restore leaded light windows across London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent, East & West Sussex, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Check Areas We Cover or call 0800 368 9556.

What does a typical leaded light repair include? +

Repairs can include replacing cracked quarries (panes), re-soldering joints, renewing or reinforcing lead cames, re-cementing/puttying for weatherproofing, frame adjustments and sealing to reduce draughts and water ingress.

How do you decide between in-situ repair and full re-leading (off-site restoration)? +

Absolutely. Our 24/7 team can make-safe and board up immediately, then complete the restoration once glass and lead work are ready. See Emergency Glaziers.

Will repairing leaded lights improve draughts and weatherproofing? +

Yes. Re-cementing, resealing and tightening joints, plus frame and bead adjustments, typically reduce draughts and leaks while keeping the original appearance intact.

Where suitable, we can encapsulate a restored leaded panel inside a sealed double-glazed unit to improve insulation while showcasing the original design. We’ll advise if your window and frames are compatible.

Yes. We repair fixed panels and opening sashes, including hinge, lock and seal adjustments to ensure safe operation and a snug, weather-tight close.

Energy-efficient homes cost
less to run Get the most out of your investment with
Instant Glass upgrades

Single-glazed windows on older or period properties are not made using
low-emissivity coated glass and do not offer energy-saving benefits; the
same goes for the old-style double-glazed units. Save money on monthly
bills and increase thermal insulation with double or triple-glazed
windows that prevent heat from escaping your home. Depending on
your requirements, we will advise you on the best way forward in
upgrading your windows and doors.
