Working alongside Walter Thompson
The transformation of a Victorian stable block into an educational centre is on track.
Askham Bryan College was awarded £3m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to redevelop the building in Middlesbrough’s Stewart Park into an agricultural and horticultural education facility.
The college has run courses out of the Central Lodge for several years but Middlesbrough Council handed over control of the building in 2015 to restore it to its former glory.
Repairs to the Grade II listed building will include extensive work to the roof, the creation of lecture rooms, a science laboratory, a learning resource centre, animal handling areas and a reception area.
We are delighted to announce we will be part of this Restoration project situated right on our doorstep in Middlesbrough working on behalf of Walter Thompson. Our Specialist Renovation teams will be carrying out renovation works to 110 historic windows along side our highly skilled craftmen who are manufacturing 28 new bespoke windows within the central lodge.

ERW has been a major contributor in improving the physical appearance and energy conservation in our property which sits in the middle of Stokesley’s conservation area. In four phases of design and installation since early 2018 you have helped transform our property with complete distinction.
From assistance given to lodging planning applications with Hambleton District Council through advice on window design and final installation, I can give no higher praise than commending ERW on every aspect of installation.
I first visited your showroom and workshop in the Autumn of 2017 and was impressed with the factory tour afforded me by Kirsty Semark (Customer Service Supervisor). I was convinced that ERW could provide the solution to upgrading our ageing timber windows and appreciate the help and courtesy extended from you and all your staff – many of whom I have met during our four phases of installation.
The very recent installation of a new ‘Eton’ front door enhances the front elevation with perfection.
Please convey our sincere thanks to everyone involved with the workmanship, installation and administration.
Mr U, Stokesley
Having just recently had wooden windows installed by your company, I would like to thank you for the professional and efficient service you provided. From my initial phone call to ERW through quotation and survey it all went very smoothly. I congratulate you on your work force who were all polite, punctual, reliable, tidy, helpful, considerate and very hard working. A CREDIT TO ERW! Needless to say I am delighted with my new windows and would not hesitate to recommend ERW to anyone who wants to deal with a professional family run firm.

I was delighted with the installation process. Steve and Tony worked very hard and took a lot of care around our house. My husband thought we would end up having to redecorate but was amazed that the windows looked like they had always been there. We are delighted and have had a number of positive comments about them. Thank you.
Mr & Mrs C, South Gosforth
All staff I met were very professional from office to the 4 installers not forgetting the man who did the survey. I have had lots of compliments from friends and family. Thank you for the attention to detail and the efficiency of the work carried out.
Mrs B, Norton, Stockton on Tees
