Churches

Matt Nickels Stained Glass offers a wide range of services tailored towards Churches and religious buildings.

Consultancy and Reports - We offer a report writing service scaled to match your needs and budget. This can include historic analysis, detailed photographic diagrams, documentation, condition reports and suggested remedial options.

Stained glass conservation - We offer a conservation service of repair and maintenance which is always sympathetic and appropriate to the original stained glass window fabric and location. We use techniques and materials which are based upon current academic research and international best practice.

Traditional repair of stained glass and leaded lights - When necessary, we repair stained glass and leaded lights in the traditional method where they are taken apart and re-leaded or partially re-leaded. The glass is then rebuilt within a new lead matrix with lead profiles matching the original.

Stained glass cleaning - Windows often suffer deterioration and harm from fire damage, dirt ingress and microbial growth. We offer a serve where we carefully clean stained glass and leaded lights in-situ and in the studio. We use modern and appropriate techniques tailored towards the specific needs of the window.

Casement, ferramenta, grilles and bars - We work on the ironmongery and metal casements associated with stained glass. We can refurbish and decorate all elements of bars, ferramenta and casements, as well as tip bars which have damaged the surrounding stonework.
