Windows are an integral part of any building, providing natural light, ventilation, and insulation. However, over time, they can deteriorate, causing a range of issues, from drafts and energy loss to aesthetic problems. If your windows are showing signs of wear and tear, now is the time to consider booking window renovation work. In this blog, we’ll explore why.
As we’re moving into spring, many of us are glad that the days are starting to get longer and the weather is beginning to pick up. Whilst this is a grateful reprieve from the harshness of winter, it’s also a time that people forget about their home renovation work. Booking work to be completed in the winter may be a cheaper option, but setbacks can occur due to the poorer weather conditions. In addition, you have to prepare yourself for an increase in heating bills in the run up to the work being undertaken.
Spring is the perfect time to book in work as the weather tends to be drier and more temperate. This means your home isn’t uncomfortably cold whilst work is being undertaken on restoring your windows. It’s also more energy efficient, as you won’t have to be spending a fortune to heat your home once the tradesmen have left.
As with most trades, there is usually a lead time for work to be completed. Booking in work now means: 1. You have more control over when work can be completed as and 2. You can guarantee that work will be completed before the cooler weather descends once again.
It’s always prudent to speak to any companies you wish to work with to see what their lead time is well in advance of when you want/need the work completed. Forward planning means more opportunities for the work to be done in a timescale which suits you.
One of the most significant benefits of upgrading your windows is the increase in energy efficiency. Old, worn-out windows can let in drafts, allowing heat to escape in the winter and cool air in the summer. By replacing them with new, energy-efficient windows, you can reduce your energy bills and help the environment.
Old windows can look dated and unsightly, detracting from the overall appearance of your property. By renovating them, you can give your home or business a fresh, updated look. This not only adds kerb appeal, but can increase your home’s value. This is especially important if you’re looking to sell in the next few years.
Planning any renovation work to your home well in advance is always the most prudent approach to take. This means you are able to work with your preferred contractor. Many companies have lead times which means you won’t be able to get the work completed in an incredibly short notice period.
If you think your windows are in need of renovation, why not get in touch with us, where a member of our team will be on hand to help you with any questions you may have. You can email us at sales@erwltd.co.uk.
There’s a common belief among heritage homeowners that you can’t improve your heritage home – let us introduce you to vacuum glazing. Whether it’s the tight constraints of planning permission, or a reluctance to hinder the visual appearance of listed buildings, heritage homeowners are often reluctant to attempt to renovate their home in any regard, […]
If you’ve ever renovated, or are looking to renovate your home, you’ve likely asked yourself “What is U Value?”. U Value is a term that is becoming harder and harder to avoid in the modern day, likely because it’s closely related to topics you’re more familiar with, such as: energy efficiency, sustainability, and Net Zero.

We have been well satisfied with the work done by ERW. From our first meeting when we turned up at the showroom without prior booking to the final fitting we have been well looked after. The two installers were punctual, tidy and did an excellent job and responded positively to questions and took pride in their work.
Mr & Mrs T, Darlington
I just wanted to send you our thanks for yet another superb installation yesterday by Dan and crew……(our ‘phase 3’). The face-lift to our property this year has been a true transformation and your installers are always so courteous and helpful. Five star service
Mr U, Stokesley
I love our new doors. They are absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I’d imagined. Every step of the process has been easy, well managed and clearly communicated, which I have come to appreciate is not always the case.
The installation crew that has been here for the past two days has been friendly and highly professional. They did a great job.
Thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through your showroom and workshop back in December. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
Ms Hinthorne
The standard of quality of the work done is so good that I can only use one word to crown it – PERFECT! My wife and I hope you will continue to provide such an exemplary piece of work which will no doubt earn you more customers. We are happy to recommend you to everyone we know.
Dr S, Darlington
