Sign Windows in Corby
Sign Windows is a family run company that has served Leicestershire and the East Midlands for nearly 40 years. Our factory and showroom are on Saffron Lane in Leicester, and our own installation team travels across to Corby and the NN17 and NN18 postcodes.
Corby expanded quickly as a steel town from the 1930s and became a new town in 1950, so a large share of its homes are post-war semis, terraces and former council houses built in big batches. Many are now on their second or third set of windows, and draughts, misted glass and stiff locks are the usual reasons people call. Newer neighbourhoods such as Priors Hall Park and Oakley Vale bring modern homes into the mix, and the old village and nearby Weldon keep some stone cottages. We make uPVC windows in our Leicester factory, supply and fit composite doors, and install patio and French doors, conservatories, solid roofs and roofline. We visit, survey each opening and give you straightforward advice. We are FENSA approved, so we self-certify the work and you receive the certificate. Call 0116 283 1010 to book a visit.

Homes in Corby
Corby’s post-war semis, terraces and former council houses suit plain A-rated uPVC casements, and white or anthracite grey both look smart on these brick frontages. Swapping an old front door for a composite door with an Ultion 11-pin lock is one of the simplest ways to lift a 1950s or 1960s house. Homes at Priors Hall Park and Oakley Vale are newer, so the job is usually to match the existing style and colour with efficient frames. Stone cottages in the old village and Weldon look better in flush casements or a woodgrain finish. Many family homes also add French or patio doors to the garden, and older conservatories can take a solid tiled roof.
Windows and doors in Corby: your questions answered
Are there conservation areas in Corby I should know about?
Yes. Corby Old Village and the Lloyds Estate are conservation areas, and changes to the look of homes there can be treated more strictly. Listed buildings normally need listed building consent. On most other houses, like-for-like window and door replacement is usually permitted development. North Northamptonshire Council, which now handles planning for Corby, can confirm your position before you order.
I bought my former council house in Corby. Can I change the windows and door?
Usually, yes. If you own the freehold, like-for-like replacement is normally permitted development. It is still worth checking your deeds, because some Right to Buy sales carry covenants, and checking whether you are in a conservation area. A-rated casements and a composite front door are the most popular choices on these homes, and we leave you a FENSA certificate when finished.
Can I replace windows in a leasehold flat in Corby?
Often only with permission. Leases commonly treat windows as part of the building, so the freeholder or managing agent usually needs to agree, and they may ask for a matching style and colour across the block. Flats also lack the permitted development rights of houses, so check with North Northamptonshire Council. With consent in place, we can survey and quote.
Do you cover Corby?
Yes. Corby is about 20 miles from our Saffron Lane factory, and our own installers work throughout NN17 and NN18, including Weldon, Great Oakley and Cottingham. We begin with a home visit and survey, and you are welcome to visit the showroom in Leicester to look at frames, door styles and colours. Call 0116 283 1010 or email info@signwindows.com.
