About CJL Designs

CJL Designs are a small company dedicated to stained glass and leadlight restoration, new designs, supply of quality antique glass and metal frames and furniture. Our client base ranges from the discerning individual with a period house or someone requiring one-off stained glass doors and windows to architects, churchwardens and conservation officers with listed buildings in their care.

We personally undertake fitting and site work to ensure quality throughout the commission unless the site requirements are different. Our website should help you to identify your requirements and show how we respond to them, the scale of work we undertake and the variety encountered. It is only a reference and we are very happy to discuss your particular needs and how they can be resolved. Contact us initially by e-mail or phone and we will get back to you with our ideas.

We work throughout the south, west and midlands area. We have churches and listed buildings under our care and have worked with the architects and churchwardens on rolling maintenance programmes as well as individual clients with anything from Crittal windows in need of refurbishment to paper-thin leaded lights in need of tender loving care.

Barn conversions and new extensions in need of sympathetic new leadlight windows or stained glass pizzaz to brighten up a corner, front doors and entrance-ways in single or triple glazing. We make traditional painted and fired stained glass as well as sand-blasted detailing including regimental colours and heraldic work and take particular care of our clients on a personal level. Taking them through the commissioning and design process and working with the appropriate bodies where needed.

About Garden Glass

Garden Glass is a contemporary stained glass company producing traditional stained glass for today. With changes in mass produced windows, modern plastics and paints have caused a drastic decline in the enduring and time proven methods of genuine stained glass .

The longevity and integrity of this medieval craft will outlive contemporary methods but many people are no longer aware of how to source the "real thing" and how relevant it still is in our modern lifestyles.

Quality of design and manufacture gives our clients value for money and a profound sense of well being. The sense of enjoyment secured by commissioning a personal piece of stained glass and having it installed is very gratifying.

Time and time again our clients express delight at how the colours transform the space and themselves within that space and excitement with the completed work.

Coloured glass through the interaction of light and the seasons is a ever changing thing and by siting it well and choosing suitable colours it will remain an object of wonderment and give years of pleasure and thought. It is in short an obtainable indulgence.
