Sign Windows in Blaby
Blaby sits just south of Leicester, and its homes tell the story of how the village grew. Around the church there is an older core of brick cottages and Victorian houses. Spreading out towards Whetstone and Countesthorpe are long stretches of housing from the 1960s to the 1990s, plus newer estates built more recently. That mix means one street may need heritage-style windows while the next simply wants clean, modern frames.
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, on the same south side of the city, so Blaby is close to home for us. We make our uPVC windows and doors there, and our own installers fit them. We offer home visits and surveys, give honest advice on style and colour, and measure every opening before anything is made. Every service we offer in Blaby is listed below.

Homes in Blaby
In the old village, brick cottages and Victorian houses suit flush casements or sash-style windows, often in a heritage colour such as cream or a woodgrain finish, so the frames look at home on the street. The post-war and later estates suit standard A-rated casements, which give clean lines and good energy ratings. On these estates the main question is usually colour, and matching the frames on neighbouring houses keeps things looking smart. Plenty of Blaby owners pair new windows with a composite front door fitted with an Ultion 11-pin lock. At the back of the house, swapping a tired set of patio doors for aluminium bifolds or a sliding door is a common upgrade.
Windows and doors in Blaby: your questions answered
Do you cover Blaby?
Yes. Blaby is about 3 miles from our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane, and we are on the same south side of Leicester. You can pop into the showroom to see frames, door styles and colours for yourself, or we can visit your home to survey and measure. Call 0116 283 1010 and we will arrange a time that suits you.
Does the Blaby conservation area affect new windows?
It can. Blaby District Council has a conservation area covering the older part of the village. On a house, like-for-like window replacement usually does not need planning permission, but new frames should still suit the character of the street. Listed buildings and flats follow different rules. If you live in or near the old village centre, check with Blaby District Council before ordering.
Are there colour rules on the newer Blaby estates?
Planning rules rarely stop you changing frame colour on an ordinary house outside a conservation area. Some newer estates do have covenants in the deeds about the look of the outside, so read yours or ask your solicitor. White and anthracite grey are popular in Blaby because they sit well beside neighbouring homes. For anything to do with planning, Blaby District Council can advise.
Which products suit a Blaby house from the 1970s or 1980s?
Most houses of that age suit A-rated uPVC casements with clean, simple lines. A composite front door adds security and a smarter look at the front. At the back, bifolds or a sliding patio door can replace older patio doors in the same opening without planning permission outside a conservation area. Widening the opening needs building regulations approval, so we would talk that through at the survey.
