Read about some of the K. G. Bell Ltd restorations and repairs of leaded lights, stained glass windows and timber window frames. Showing painted images of Hilbre Island, a much loved local landmark, this stained glass window in West Kirby was in need of some refurbishment. Before encapsulating stained glass windows restoration work on the original panes is often a necessity.

My parents had a broken pane in the stained glass window in their front door. Tim and Keith helped to organise the replacement and came at the time and date agreed with a choice of glass to match the requirement. The service was quick, clean and efficient. I certainly would recommend them and hope to use them for a larger project in 2022.

Great service received from K. G. Bell. After my stained leaded glass window was damaged I wasn't aware of any local specialist companies but after a quick search and read of previous reviews I decided to go with KGB. After contacting on the Friday they were able to come and repair the window on the Monday which was ideal. Contact with Keith was easy and quick throughout even responding on a Sunday evening. Ryan repaired the window quickly and looked good as new! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again

Keith, Tim and Ryan did a fantastic job in renovating the stained glass in our hall, stairs and landing windows and then refitting it into double-glazed units. The quality of their work was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them. All round, a highly professional job from courteous, pleasant, top-quality craftsmen. We would definitely use their services again and we recommend them unreservedly. Michelle and Frank
