If you’re looking for windows in Sunderland or specialist window repairs in Sunderland, ERW Joinery provides bespoke timber windows, restoration and repair services for traditional and contemporary properties.
From sash and casement windows to bespoke timber doors and specialist glazing, we combine traditional joinery expertise with modern performance. Whether your existing windows need attention or you’re considering bespoke replacements, we can help you find a solution suited to your property.
Sunderland has a varied mix of Victorian and Edwardian housing, traditional terraces, cottages and other older properties, many of which retain architectural features that contribute to their individual character.
Original timber sash and casement windows are often an important part of these properties, alongside traditional doors, glazing patterns and detailed timberwork. As windows age, issues such as draughts, timber deterioration and worn components can affect both their appearance and performance.
Where the existing windows are suitable, careful repair and refurbishment can help preserve original features. Where replacement is necessary, bespoke timber windows can be designed around the property’s existing proportions, glazing patterns and architectural details, helping to maintain its traditional appearance while incorporating modern performance.
Timber remains a versatile choice for homeowners who want to combine traditional character with modern performance.
Modern timber windows can be made to measure and incorporate energy-efficient glazing, high-performance seals and contemporary security features while retaining a traditional appearance.
Benefits include:
For period homes in Sunderland, timber windows can provide an effective way to retain architectural character while improving comfort and performance.
Replacing old timber windows isn’t always necessary. If your existing windows are structurally sound, window repairs in Sunderland can often extend their useful life while retaining original features.
Depending on their condition, repairs and refurbishment may include:
Repairing original windows can be particularly valuable in older properties, where retaining the existing proportions and detailing can make a significant difference to the finished appearance.
Whether you’re repairing existing windows or commissioning bespoke replacements, every ERW project is approached individually.
We assess the condition of your existing windows or doors and discuss your requirements and priorities.
Where replacement is appropriate, windows and doors are designed around your property’s architecture, proportions and individual requirements.
The agreed specification is manufactured using specialist joinery skills alongside modern production techniques.
Our team installs the finished products carefully, with attention to the existing building and overall appearance.
We can provide guidance on caring for your timber windows and doors to help maintain their appearance and performance.
If your timber windows are showing signs of age, the right solution will depend on their condition.
Where windows remain fundamentally sound, repair and refurbishment can often address issues such as rotten timber, draughts, damaged glass or worn hardware without removing the entire window.
Replacement may be more suitable where deterioration is extensive or where the existing windows no longer meet the requirements of the property.
For period properties, assessing the existing windows before deciding on replacement can help you understand the available options and avoid unnecessary replacement.
For older properties, windows can be an important part of the building’s character. Repairing original timber where possible can help retain this character, while bespoke replacement provides an opportunity to replicate traditional features where existing windows are beyond repair.
ERW specialises in timber windows, restoration and repair for traditional and contemporary properties. We can help you consider whether repair, refurbishment or replacement is the most appropriate approach for your windows.
Whether you need window repairs in Sunderland, bespoke sash windows or new timber casements, our approach combines traditional joinery expertise with modern performance requirements.

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
My wife and I are delighted with the work you carried out on the windows. You completed the work most efficiently, to our agreed time scale. Your dealings with us from initial enquiry to completion, were first class. I would most certainly have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others, and will be in touch in late spring to initiate further work – on our upstairs front windows.
Mr C, Middlesbrough
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.
Mr & Mrs D, Stockton on Tees
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.
