At Mick’s Glass in Sydney, we specialise in the renovation, repair, and restoration of traditional Federation windows, Victorian windows, and Heritage glass structures. Our expert refurbishment services are designed to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and security—without compromising the classic beauty and historic character of your property.

Restoring Heritage Windows with Care

Over time, original timber windows and glass can become worn, draughty, or inefficient. Rather than replacing them entirely, we provide tailored restoration solutions that preserve their authentic style while enhancing their performance:

• Draught proofing: Boosts energy efficiency and comfort at a fraction of the cost of full replacements.
• Glazing upgrades: Options to improve thermal insulation and reduce outside noise.

With over 50 years of experience, Mick’s Glass has successfully restored and upgraded thousands of traditional timber windows and doors. Our highly skilled and qualified craftsmen bring extensive knowledge of period joinery and glazing, ensuring every detail is handled with precision.

Whatever the challenge—whether it’s cracked panes, worn-out frames, or inefficient glazing—Mick’s Glass has the right solution.

Expertise in Heritage & Stained Glass Restoration

From grand Federation windows to delicate stained glass, our heritage restoration team brings history back to life. Over the decades, we’ve reglazed and restored countless unique glass structures, from curved glass domes to stained glass windows in heritage-listed buildings.

Stained Glass Replacement

Where possible, we aim to restore rather than replace stained glass. When certain glass types are no longer manufactured, we carefully select alternatives that match the style and character of your original panels. The process involves removing, restoring, and re-leading the stained glass before reinstalling it into your doors or windows—bringing them back to their former glory.

Onsite Leadlight Repairs

In cases where stained glass or leadlight panels have only minor damage, we can often carry out onsite repairs. Using specialised tools and glazing methods developed over decades, our team can restore square or diamond-patterned leadlight windows without the cost of full replacement—saving both time and money while preserving authenticity.

Reviving Worn & Faded Leadlight

For stained glass that has dulled or deteriorated, we use a combination of careful cleaning, preparation, and restoration techniques. With specialist pastes, buffers, and finishing processes, we rejuvenate faded leadlight so it looks as vibrant as it did when first installed.

Identifying Heritage Glass Windows by Era

Windows have evolved dramatically across architectural periods. Below is a guide to help identify the style of your heritage glass windows:

• Early Victorian (1840–1860): Simple double-hung or casement windows, often with muff or cylinder glass.
• Mid Victorian (1860–1875): More ornate designs, often featuring verandas and decorative sash frames.
• Late Victorian (1875–1901): Grand designs with coloured glass in doorways, fanlights, and arched or lance-top windows.
• Queen Anne (1895–1910): Free-standing homes with complex window layouts, casement frames, and stained glass sidelights.
• Edwardian / Federation (1895–1910): Influenced by Queen Anne and Victorian styles, featuring bunched and leaded glass with colourful stained panels.
• Inter-War (1918–1939): Rise of Art Deco windows, steel casement frames, and larger panes for more natural light.
• Post-War (1945–1965): Modern influences, bay windows, curvature glass, and the introduction of float glass.
• Modern (1965–Present): Mass-produced windows in timber, aluminium, and uPVC, with double glazing becoming increasingly common.
