Stained glass or leaded lights serve as stunning features in various properties, ranging from churches and listed buildings to period residences, modern houses, and commercial structures. They provide a captivating focal point and can be customized entirely according to your preferences. Over time, your stained glass or leaded lights may need restoration or repairs to ensure they maintain their stunning condition. The positive news is that we can address and repair almost any type of damage encountered in the process.
K.G. Bell specializes in crafting custom leaded lights inspired by customers' interests or designs found elsewhere. These unique leaded lights can enhance external windows, offering both privacy and a captivating focal point. They are versatile and can be incorporated into cupboard doors, used as screens for shelving, and are especially impactful when illuminated from within. Leaded lights also prove effective for doors, door side lights, and landing windows to ensure privacy.
Authentic timber-framed windows contribute significantly to the charm of older properties, often surpassing modern alternatives in quality due to the use of hardwood. Whenever feasible, prioritizing window frame repair over replacement is advisable. The K.G. Bell team is well-versed in traditional timber frame repairs and refurbishments.
Replacement double glazing in solid mahogany window frames.
What can I say? Absolutely professional. I knew when I watched Ryan measuring our window frames. Several measurements in various places to ensure no errors due to the frames settling. On day of installation old glass was removed after some considerable effort. The glass was over 30 years old and bedded in rock hard putty. Tim arrived to help Ryan install the new glass. Ryan installed all new beading and sealant. I'm more than pleased and would readily recommend them.
Keith and his staff are a rare breed amongst businesses nowadays. They are reliable, efficient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled.
The work they carried out for us included fitting a secondary glazing unit - we live in a listed building so cannot have double glazing- replacing a pane of glass, and insulating windows in other rooms.
The secondary unit they put in was on a very large sash window, it was beautifully fitted and so unobtrusive it enabled us to retain the character and look of the original windows. All of the work was carried out efficiently, incredibly neatly, and with considerable expertise, by Keith and Ryan. Communication before having the job done was very efficient, with Tim in the office keeping us informed at every stage.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend KG Bell, they really do go that extra mile for their clients. Now we know how wide their skills are we will definitely be using them to do further work and on the house, knowing they will do an excellent job at reasonable cost.
Keith carried out repairs to a stained glass window on our landing. He and his colleague did a first class job, we are thrilled with the results. It looks lovely. In addition his charge was very reasonable and he was extremely reliable and professional. We would definitely use him again.
This company is amazing. I had a huge window made for my study. The team listened to my requests, stayed true to my design and supported my choice of glass colours. Nothing was too much trouble. The window wasn't an easy construction, as it wasn't in a traditional style and involved using quite large pieces of glass, but I felt totally confident that my window would be achieved. When it was finished it was really beautiful and constructed with great craftsmanship. It fitted precisely when it was installed and everything was very streamlined. The whole process was very satisfying and I can't thank the team enough for their expertise. I would
wholeheartedly recommend KG Bell for anyone looking for a fabulous stained glass window to enhance their home.
Following a neighbour’s recommendation, K G Bell Ltd carried out the repair and refurbishment of my daughter’s stained glass door and panels in her +100 year old porch. The main panel had cracked glass and had become loose over time and the glazing had become dull.
Keith’s expert fitter carefully removed the damaged glass, inserting a toughened glass pane, whilst the stained glass went to the workshop for rebuilding and repairing. The broken panels of glass were replaced with glass which matched the original.
After an expert restoration the 3 panels were returned and reinstalled, leaving the toughened glass in place for additional reinforcement.
The installation was carried out on time and the house left spotlessly clean.
It is wonderful to find such craftsmanship and a company that offers a quality service at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend the excellent first-class service. Thank you very much, Pam!
At K G Bell, Tim proved to be exceptionally friendly, helpful, and informative. We are thrilled with the remade leaded glass panel for our old front door, and the cost was very reasonable.
We restored a leaded window in our front door to maintain a Victorian style while enhancing security. The service was excellent, the transaction was easy, and the workers were tidy, leaving no mess behind. I would certainly recommend it.
What a great company. They came to measure for replacement double glazed glass for the whole house the same day I enquired. Came back with a very competitive price and we placed an order immediately. The lead time was meant to be 6 weeks but we had a message 2 weeks later from them to arrange installation.
Great service, lovely people and would recommend them to everyone.
I've had various work done by Keith and his lovely team over the years.
From encapsulating my traditional lead lights into new PVC fames.
Creating new lead lights to match existing ones
Stunning porch and kitchen doors that carry on the same colour from the traditional lead lights.
I wouldn't use anyone else, pure workmanship.
I just need to think of a new project for him now.
Very quick response, friendly and helpful. Great price. Would definitely Recommend
Keith demonstrated excellent and prompt workmanship while repairing panels in a damaged stained glass door. He was very polite and conducted a thorough and tidy job on the door, all at a fair price. I highly recommend his services.
Tim and Keith were very helpful! They were great in sending pictures of samples so we could get the best match to replace an existing damaged window. Would definitely use again.
Both Keith and Tim provided excellent service and offered knowledgeable advice. I would recommend this local business.
