Sign Windows in Aylestone
Aylestone sits on the south side of Leicester, between Aylestone Meadows, the River Soar and the Grand Union Canal. The historic part, around St Andrew’s church and Aylestone Hall, is the Aylestone Village conservation area. Nearer Aylestone Park and along Aylestone Road you find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with bay fronts, then streets of interwar semis and later estate homes. Plenty still have tired timber or first generation uPVC, and owners want warmer rooms with fewer draughts and less condensation.
Sign Windows is a family run company with nearly 40 years of experience. Our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane is about 1 mile away, and that is where we make our uPVC windows and doors. Our own team of installers does the fitting. We visit your home, measure properly and suggest styles that suit the house. We also supply and fit composite doors and offer aluminium, conservatories and roofline work. We are FENSA approved, so you get the certificate.

Homes in Aylestone
The bay-fronted terraces in Aylestone look right with flush casements or sash-style windows, and the bay should be measured and made as one set so it keeps its shape. If the originals had glazing bars, we can add them back. The 1920s and 1930s semis suit a classic A-rated casement, sometimes with a leaded or Georgian bar detail. In the old village around St Andrew’s, a heritage colour or woodgrain foil usually sits better than bright white. A traditional panelled composite door, supplied and fitted by us, finishes most period fronts. The newer estate homes simply need efficient frames matched to the colour already used. Many terraces have small rear yards, where a French door or slim patio door can bring in more light.
Windows and doors in Aylestone: your questions answered
Are there extra planning rules in Aylestone Village?
There can be. Aylestone Village is a conservation area around St Andrew's church, and Leicester City Council has used Article 4 Directions there. Some buildings, such as the church and Aylestone Hall, are listed. Like-for-like replacement elsewhere is usually permitted development, but in the village you should check with the council first. We can then match the style and finish it expects.
Can I replace windows in my Aylestone flat?
Often you can, but check before you order. In a converted house or block, the windows may belong to the building, so read your lease and ask the freeholder or managing agent. Flats do not have the permitted development rights that houses have, so ask Leicester City Council if approval is needed. When you are cleared to go ahead, we survey and quote.
What suits a bay-fronted terrace in Aylestone?
A matched bay in flush casement or sash-style uPVC is the usual choice, with glazing bars if the originals had them. White, a colour or a woodgrain foil are all possible. For the door, a panelled composite with an Ultion 11-pin lock suits these fronts. The lock maker, Ultion, offers its own £1,000 security guarantee. We talk it all through at the home visit.
