Services
On site repairs.
One or two panels of glass broken in a leadlight can often be repaired while the leadlight is still in the opening and not removed from site risking further damage. The broken panel or panels need to be reasonably simply shaped and the new glass is "popped" in once the broken glass has been removed.
Off-site repairs.
If your leadlight is unable to be repaired on site we will carefully remove the leadlight from the opening and temporary glaze or board up the opening ensuring your premises are safe and secured. The leadlight will be repaired off site then reglazed once all repairs have been completed.
Re Leading
If your leadlight is old and rattling we have a re-leading service available. This involves your original leadlight being pulled apart and reusing the original glass we rebuild the leadlight back to new giving it another 50+ years of life. Glass can be cleaned in a costic soda bath to remove the years of stain and grime that has built up bringing the glass back to its original glory.
Glass Matching
Leadlights can be up to 80 years old and have many varieties of glass both colour and texture. Brisbane Leadlight Repairs have an extensive range of both old and new, clear and coloured glass to ensure the closest match is used to maintain the Leadlights originality.
The Process
Every leadlight removed from site to be repaired is re-cemented, polished and if required new border lead installed. The repaired leadlight will be structurally stronger than the original panel.
