If you’re looking for Georgian windows in Durham, ERW Joinery creates bespoke timber windows designed to complement the character of traditional and period properties. From Georgian-style windows and sash windows to timber casements and bespoke doors, our products combine traditional joinery with modern performance.
Whether you’re restoring a period property, replacing original windows or looking to introduce authentic Georgian detailing, we can create a solution tailored to your property.
Durham is known for its historic architecture, with Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside traditional cottages, townhouses and other older buildings. Across these properties, windows can be an important part of the overall architectural character.
For Georgian homes in particular, details such as symmetry, glazing bars, proportions and carefully defined frame profiles can have a significant impact on the appearance of the property. Victorian and Edwardian buildings may feature different window arrangements and decorative details that are equally important to preserve.
When traditional windows need repair or replacement, bespoke timber offers the flexibility to reproduce these features while incorporating modern glazing, improved thermal performance, and enhanced security. Each design can be considered in relation to the property’s existing architecture rather than relying on standard replacement windows.
Georgian architecture is particularly associated with symmetry, balanced proportions and multi-pane glazing. A well-designed Georgian window in Durham can help retain these characteristics while incorporating modern glazing and performance features.
ERW can produce bespoke timber windows with traditional Georgian-style detailing, allowing the design to be adapted to the individual property and its existing architecture.
Timber has been used for windows and doors for generations and remains a versatile choice for traditional properties. Modern timber windows can retain a period appearance while incorporating improvements in thermal efficiency, security and weather performance.
Benefits include:
For period homes, bespoke timber windows can provide a balance between preserving architectural character and improving everyday comfort.
Every ERW project is tailored to the property, with careful consideration given to the existing windows, architectural style and your requirements.
We assess the existing windows and doors, their condition and the characteristics of the property before discussing your requirements.
Your windows or doors are designed around the property, with options for glazing, proportions, opening configurations, colours, finishes and hardware.
Once the specification has been agreed, the products are manufactured using specialist joinery skills and modern techniques.
Our team installs the finished windows or doors with care, paying attention to the existing building and the overall appearance.
We can provide guidance on maintaining your timber windows and doors to help preserve their appearance and performance.
If your existing timber windows are showing signs of age, replacement isn’t always the only option. Where the original windows are fundamentally sound, repair and refurbishment can often extend their useful life while retaining important period features.
Depending on their condition, renovation may include:
Replacement may be more appropriate where windows are beyond economical repair or where a different specification is required.
For older and period properties, assessing the condition of the existing windows before deciding on replacement can help you choose the most suitable approach.
The right windows can have a significant impact on the appearance of a period property. Getting details such as proportions, glazing patterns and materials right can help new windows sit naturally within the existing architecture.
ERW specialises in bespoke timber windows and doors for traditional and contemporary properties. Whether you’re looking for a Georgian window in Durham, restoring existing sash windows or replacing older timber windows, we can help you explore the most appropriate options for your property.

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.

We are delighted with the product supplied. The leaded windows look really good and very much in character with the house and with the previous windows. The installation team have been very helpful and informative throughout and are a credit to your company. An excellent job and done exactly as per your contract program (which makes a nice change from some of the builders we have used in the past!). Thank you.
