Testimonials
“Edgar made us a beautiful bee-themed window, which continues to delight. We liked it so much that we asked him to make another, this time with birds. Both windows were designed and constructed to a high standard and Edgar himself was a pleasure to deal with.”
Mr M. Haywards Heath.
“We engaged Edgar on three separate occasions for our Edwardian home in Eastbourne, and the fact that we returned to him for each commission is testament to how pleased we were with the quality, standard and attention to detail that he brings to his work. He is considerate, friendly and thoroughly professional artisan who takes the utmost pride in completing his work to exacting standards, and also in the fitting of it – to the customer’s complete satisfaction. I would not hesitate in recommending Edgar to anyone desiring a first class product and service, at a very reasonable price.”
Mr R. Smith Eastbourne.
“Edgar was able to take our design and transform it into a beautiful and lasting work of art. Our window panel brings us lasting joy and greatly admired by visitors to our home.”

“We are thrilled with the stained glass Edgar made for our front door. We really enjoyed getting to know Edgar, he was great to deal with and everything from working on the design plans to choosing the glass and then installing it was straight forward. He is incredibly talented, with brilliant knowledge of stained glass and amazing attention to detail. I still feel happy seeing it as I come down the stairs each morning and when I arrive home. Thank you Edgar.”
Mrs J. Hibberd Hove.

“Repairing stained glass so that no-one can see that it has been repaired is a fine skill. Edgar Symes masters that skill using glass that mirrors(!) what the Victorians did. I am also grateful for the rebuilding he did of one of my stained glass panels – it is now sturdy, as good looking as ever and will last for another 100 years. Thanks for your dedication, precision and skill!”
Mr. H Lusser Hove.
“Edgar refurbished four large original stained glass panels in our Victorian house and some further panels within our front door. I would describe Edgar as highly professional in manner, honest and clearly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We were provided with a straightforward and competitive quote, some flexible options along the way and a thoroughly excellent final product which we are absolutely delighted with. When we met Edgar we were midst compete house renovation with fraught nerves and little time to spare and we thoroughly appreciated the way in which Edgar just got on quietly and competently with the job at hand. We would without question call on Edgar should we require further work of this variety and we can wholeheartedly recommend him to others. You will be in safe hands.”
Dr, H. Phillips Brighton.
“Thank you, Edgar, for the superb reproduction and re-construction you made of the complicated lead light window in my flat in Brunswick Square, Hove. The old window has such a large range of different textured and patterned glass panels that it seems truly marvellous that the two parts of the window are now so perfectly matched once again. You are clearly a perfectionist, and have enormous talent and patience. The care you took with making sure that all the measurements were correct was impressive. It was a real pleasure to discuss this project with you, and to see it completed so beautifully. Warmest thanks.”
Mrs B. Hollington Hove.
