If you’re looking for windows in York or specialist window repairs in York, 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 skills with modern performance. Whether your existing windows need repairing or you’re considering replacement, we can help you find a solution suited to your property.
York is renowned for its historic architecture, with properties ranging from Georgian and Victorian townhouses to traditional cottages, terraces and period homes.
For these properties, windows are often an important part of the building’s character. Original sash windows, timber casements, glazing bars and traditional proportions can all contribute to the appearance of a property.
When windows need attention, careful repair or bespoke replacement can help retain these features while improving performance and usability.
Timber is a natural choice for homeowners who want to preserve the character of a traditional property while benefiting from modern window performance.
Modern timber windows can be designed around the individual requirements of your property and can incorporate contemporary glazing, draught proofing, seals and security features.
Benefits include:
For period homes in York, bespoke timber windows can provide a balance between preserving architectural character and improving comfort and performance.
If your existing timber windows are showing signs of deterioration, replacement isn’t always necessary. Window repairs in York can be a practical way to extend the life of original timber windows where the existing structure remains suitable for refurbishment.
Depending on the condition of the windows, repairs may include:
Repairing original windows can help retain features that would otherwise be lost through replacement. For period properties, it can also provide an opportunity to improve performance without completely changing the appearance of the building.
Every ERW project is approached individually, whether you’re repairing existing windows or commissioning bespoke replacements.
We assess the condition of your existing windows or doors and discuss what you want to achieve with the project.
Where replacement is appropriate, windows and doors are designed around your property’s proportions, architectural style and requirements.
The agreed specification is manufactured using specialist joinery skills and modern techniques.
Our team installs the finished windows or doors with care and attention to the existing property.
We can provide advice on maintaining your timber windows and doors to help preserve their appearance and performance.
One of the first questions homeowners ask is whether an old timber window should be repaired or replaced.
If the existing window is fundamentally sound, repair and refurbishment may be the most appropriate option. This can retain original materials and architectural features while addressing issues such as draughts, damaged timber or worn hardware.
Replacement may be more suitable where windows are beyond economical repair, have suffered extensive deterioration or no longer meet the requirements of the property.
There isn’t a single solution for every property. Assessing the condition of the existing windows is an important first step.

Thank you so much for the windows and front door. They have exceeded my expectations! I was very happy with the two fitters that came, they were very professional, polite and left our house immaculate. I would definitely recommend your firm to a friend and family.
Mr & Mrs M, Eston, Middlesbrough
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
Workmen cleaned up any mess as they went along and left no mess what so ever at the end. They were diligent and I would certainly recommend this company and I intend on using ERW again.
