Our Story
Universal Windows has grown from a small family-run workshop into one of the region’s trusted names for PVC windows and doors. For over 20 years, we’ve been dedicated to delivering quality, energy-efficient products made with precision and care, supporting homeowners and trade customers across the North East with reliable service and craftsmanship they can trust.
Humble Beginnings
Universal Windows was founded on a simple belief: every home deserves quality windows and doors built to last. Starting out as a small workshop in Middlesbrough, our focus was always on craftsmanship, reliability, and delivering a service people could trust. Over the years, that dedication has seen us grow into one of the region’s leading PVC window and door specialists.

Experienced Leadership
​
Our strength lies in the experience and leadership of our directors. John Pearce, a former Olympic boxing gold medalist, brings over 30 years of dedication and discipline to the business, applying the same focus and determination that took him to the top of his sport into building a company that values precision and quality above all else. Alongside him, Peter Barnes brings more than three decades of industry expertise, ensuring every product leaving our factory meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
