It’s often at this time of year that businesses take stock of the previous 12 months and plan ahead for the next 12. Firstly we would like to wish you season’s greetings and a happy holiday, and also to let you know that we will be here for you in the New Year if you have any specialist timber window and door requirements in your upcoming projects. Here’s a reminder of some of the projects we’ve helped architects, main contractors and specifiers within the North East’s public and private sectors over the last 12 months:
Redworth Hall Hotel – ERW were part of the team contracted to convert this Jacobean-style manor house into a premium quality hotel. We supplied and installed specialist windows and doors designed to ensure hotel safety standards were met but in-keeping with the unique character of the building including; 124 high performance stormproof casement timber windows, 2 shaped pivot windows, 2 fire exit French doors and 2 single door combination frames.
Retirement Housing for Richmond District Council – Working alongside Kier Services to renovate buildings for retirement, sheltered and supported housing for older people, ERW’s input into this large project covered: a mixture of vertical sliding sash and flush casement high performance timber windows with 39 secondary glazed units and the full renovation of 42 historic timber windows.
New Primary School in Hartlepool – Working with Surgo Construction for Cleveland Council, we were contracted to blend modern designs with traditional materials through the design, manufacture and installation of high performance, sustainable wood casement windows and door frames.
University of Sunderland – Working with Clugston Construction on the university’s ‘Centre to Enterprise and Innovation’, this is an exciting project for us. Manufacturing and installing 7 bespoke casements that incorporate specialist Heritage Double Glazed units and adding in 32 combination secondary glazing units, including 12 to Arched Windows. We will also be carrying out some off-site renovation to 5 re-claimed original windows to fit into new apertures.
With summer upon us, it’s time to make the most of your outdoor space, and spend some time in your garden!

New planning application fees could make improving your heritage home more expensive- but at ERW, we’re offering expert support at no extra cost. Understanding the New Planning Fees As of 1 April 2025, planning application fees in England have undergone a significant rise. These adjustments are part of a government initiative to help local planning […]
We just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we are very happy with both our secondary glazing and the new double glazing that has very recently been fitted by ERW Joinery Ltd in our home. Despite having some reservations about the aesthetics and impact it would have on the ‘period’ of the house, we both think the windows look great. In addition to this we have already noticed that the house feels much warmer and also retains the heat for longer. I thought that the advice you gave us was excellent & the attention to detail from yourself and your workforce was so important in helping us decide about the best products. Could you also please pass on our thanks to the workforce who were professional, hardworking and above all craftsmen. We will certainly be happy to recommend your company to any of our friends who may be considering similar work.

A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
We chose your company because it was recommended by a neighbour who had had worked carried out by your firm very satisfactorily. we are equally pleased with the work and communication with your firm throughout and would not hesitate recommending you to any one in a similar position
Ms. S, Gosforth
Our whole experience with ERW joiners has been absolutely first class. Our first meeting was a showroom appointment with Stuart Wall, I personally loved the showroom straightaway, the colours of the sample doors blew me away.
To the skilled craftsmen of joiners who made our front door, who we have not met, but who we will forever be grateful too – their craftsmanship is beyond compare – thank you so very much.
