Estimates and ordering
An Estimate is given in good faith and will be adhered to unless there is a substantial change in the goods or service being provided.
Any change to the scope and extent of work will be discussed with you before any extra costs are incurred. Only approved extra costs will be invoiced.
Unless otherwise stated, delivery and transport costs are included in the estimate total.
A deposit of 20% of the estimate total is due upon order of goods or services. This is none refundable.

Encapsulation of old stained glass and leaded lights.
We will endeavour to refurbish your old stained glass and leaded light panels to the best of our ability however it must be understood that it may not be possible or desirable to make the panels look like new.
Cleaning: We will clean all the glass and leads thoroughly. Every lead will be scored around using a pointed hardwood dowel and any spots of paint removed. Some small marks may still remain on the glass.
Replacement of broken glass pieces in stained glass panels: every effort will be made to match up the broken glass for colour and texture however it may not be possible to replace obsolete glass with an exact match. In these circumstances we will use the nearest available match.
Refurbishment of old lead: we will polish the old leads using black carbon polish but the panels will not be releaded unless requested.
Original glass: small scratches, blemishes, surface marks, edge shells and very small corner cracks in the original glass will not be replaced unless specifically requested.
Original Leaded Light Cement Dust: although every care is taken is taken with the cleaning and blowing out of dust from old panels there may be still be some small particles of dust or cement debris inside the encapsulated unit.
Guarantees
All double and triple glazed units are guaranteed for a period of 5 years for the seal on the unit breaking down. This will be evident if condensation appears inside the unit. If the unit has been glazed by us then the guarantee covers the full cost of removal, splitting, resealing and refitting.
If the unit has been supplied but not glazed then this guarantee is limited to the cost of the unit being split and resealed. No delivery costs, removal and refitting costs are covered. This guarantee is only valid if the units have been glazed correctly, i.e., the units must be supported on both the inside and out side pane on packing blocks. If the frame is timber then it must be glazed using a butyl putty or tape and capped inside and out using a low modulus neutral cure glazing silicon designed for glazing double glazed units.
