Masonry & Window Restoration
The aim of conservation is to retain as much of the original glazing as possible with the minimum of intervention.
There eventually comes a point with every old building where the windows have deteriorated to a level where complete restoration is the only option. In such cases, the glazing is carefully removed and restored to its former glory whilst retaining as much of the original as possible.
At Glasswood, we understand the nature of historic windows and glazing and we have extensive experience of working in historically important buildings and churches using traditional methods and materials.
We deal with everything from minor repairs to leaded glazing through to major restoration/conservation projects in excess of £100K.

Behind The Scenes, 30 November 2018: Traditional Crafts and Restored Windows
Blog Post
by Jo Clarke, Marketing and Communications Officer
with thanks to Jodie Bishop, Public Art Officer
One of the things we’re trying to do in a range of ways with The Box is combine the historic with the contemporary – even through the work that’s happening on the construction site. We may be creating a visitor attraction for the future, but a lot of the work also involves traditional craft techniques and processes.
From stone masonry to lime mortar rendering to lead working – the refurbishment of St Luke’s Church and the historic features in the Edwardian parts of the former Central Library and City Museum and Art Gallery are involving trades that are centuries old.
One of the most visible elements of this is the repair work to the stained-glass windows in St Luke’s Church.
When work began on the church the windows were removed and transported to Glasswood, near Yeovil – a conservation company who specialise in historic windows and doors. Some of the windows had become quite badly buckled or bent over the years and a few of the glass pieces had cracked. This collage shows them in the Glasswood studio. Read More ……….

We have just had our ancient leaded windows removed, completely renovated and refitted, together with internal secondary double glazing. The workmanship is perfect, the craftsmen who carried out the work were so meticulous in everything they did. We are so proud of our windows now and cannot praise Glasswood enough. Thank you all for your expertise and courtesy.
Kind Regards
