In recognition of their conservation work to the renowned stained glass windows of Fairford Church the Studio won the prestigious 1998 Museum and Galleries Commission/Jerwood Foundation Award for Conservation.  The windows are conserved within an isothermal glazing system designed and developed by the Studio, which has been widely accepted by other leading studios.  The stained glass is set in a form of internally ventilated double-glazing in as near museum conditions as can be achieved within its architectural setting, effectively relinquishing the stained glass from its practical functions as a climatic barrier.

The Studio's stocks and facilities enable it to undertake large commissions, and repairs replicating all periods of historic stained glass.  It also produces a range of kiln distorted sheet glasses to match the texture and surface reflections of domestic plain glazing from the 17th to early 20th centuries.  Additionally it repairs and fabricates all types of associated metalwork from opening casements and ferramenta support systems to new stainless steel wire guards for window protection.
