Surbiton continues to be a focus for my work and the most recent commission was something of a rush order. The brief was to deliver a domed top stained glass window unit matching in with a pair of existing small top lights in the front door and a main over light featuring the house number before the property featured on RightMove. The front door and top light were both fitted with clear glass and adding feature leaded windows would both improve security and add a splash of colour.<\/p>\n

I have recently acquired a large stock of original leaded units from Solopark<\/strong><\/a> who specialise in traditional period building materials and supplies.<\/p>\n

Working with the customer I designed the door light to incorporate two of the original units salvaged from Solopark and rebuilt them with new lead. For the customer this solution was ideal as it provided for some history to the installation plus an element of recycling.<\/p>\n

The challenge was to deliver and fit these units within a fortnight as the house was due to go on the market in early September. On the day of fitting I found myself working alongside the agent who was finalising photographs. Hawes & Co<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
