We wanted a small "sunburst" stained glass window to fit into a precut opening in a wooden garden gate. Edward visited, took measurements, and made up exactly the window we wanted. Very pleased with his courteous and professional approach.

Edward did a fantastic job replacing our cracked Victorian roundel. It looks just like the original and I would definitely recommend his services.
