Making a listed building more energy efficient can be challenging. Older properties were built using traditional materials and construction methods that are very different from modern homes, while original windows, doors and other features may be protected because of their historic importance. However, being a listed building doesn’t mean you have to accept draughts, heat […]

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
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
Thank you for proving excellent service through the planning and design of the windows, from following through with the planning authority to securing an appropriate outcome and faultless installation. Your staff polite, respectful and highly skilled, thank you again, myself and my tenants are delighted.
Mrs R, Stokesley
We were desperate to find a company that would do a quality job with quality products. Although we had very high quality windows fitted in part of the house, that company couldn’t fit them. We are so happy with every aspect of the work done by ERW from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who asked.
Dr W, Durham
