Sign Windows in Barlestone
Barlestone is a village a couple of miles north-east of Market Bosworth. It began as a hosiery village, and later many people here worked at the local collieries, which the pit wheel monument still marks. A small older centre of brick cottages and terraces sits inside a much larger ring of post-war and modern homes, from semis and bungalows to family houses on newer estates. A lot of those homes still have their first double glazing, and it often shows its age through draughts, stiff handles or misted panes.
We are Sign Windows, a family run firm that has served Leicestershire and the East Midlands for nearly 40 years. Our factory and showroom are on Saffron Lane in Leicester, where we make our uPVC windows and doors, and our own installers fit them. We visit your home, survey and measure each opening, and give honest advice on styles and colours. Every service we offer in Barlestone is listed below.

Homes in Barlestone
The older cottages and terraces in the centre of Barlestone suit flush casements or traditional casements, and a woodgrain or soft heritage colour helps keep their character. Post-war semis and bungalows look smart with white or grey A-rated casements and a matching composite front door with an Ultion 11-pin lock. On the modern estates, frames in the same colour as the neighbouring homes keep the street looking even. Houses on the edge of the village can catch the wind off open fields, so well-sealed windows and doors make a real difference to comfort. At the back, French doors or a sliding patio door are a popular change on family homes.
Windows and doors in Barlestone: your questions answered
Do you cover Barlestone?
Yes. Barlestone is about 11 miles from our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane in Leicester, and we fit across Leicestershire and the East Midlands. You can visit the showroom to see frames, doors and colours up close, or we can come to your home to survey and measure. Call 0116 283 1010 to book a visit.
Do I need the council's permission for new windows in Barlestone?
Usually not for a house. Like-for-like window and door replacement is normally permitted development. Listed buildings, flats, conservation areas and estates with planning conditions can be different. Barlestone comes under Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, so ask them if you are unsure. Our FENSA approved installs meet Building Regulations, and you get the certificate.
I live in a Barlestone flat. Can my windows be replaced?
Usually yes, but flats need a little more checking than houses. Permitted development rights work differently for flats, so ask Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council whether planning permission is needed. Your lease may also say the freeholder or management company has to agree. Once you have the go-ahead, we can survey and give you a quote.
What suits a Barlestone bungalow?
Most bungalows here suit A-rated uPVC casements, which give clean lines and help keep heat in. White is the usual choice, but grey or woodgrain also look good. A composite front door adds a smart finish and an Ultion 11-pin lock. If you want more light at the back, French doors or a sliding patio door can replace an old back door.
