Sign Windows in Coventry
Coventry is a city of two halves when it comes to houses. The Blitz destroyed much of the centre, so large parts were rebuilt after the war, while streets in Earlsdon and Chapelfields kept their Victorian and Edwardian terraces, including the old watchmakers’ houses in Chapelfields. Out in the suburbs there are big estates of 1930s semis and post-war homes. A lot of those inter-war and post-war houses are now on their second or third set of windows, and people usually call us about draughts, misted sealed units, stiff handles or a front door that no longer feels secure.
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 team of installers fits them in homes across Coventry. We visit to survey and measure, talk you through styles and colours, and give honest advice. All of our services in Coventry are listed below.

Homes in Coventry
The post-war houses and flats that fill much of Coventry were built with plain, simple openings, and clean A-rated casements in white or anthracite grey suit them well. Earlsdon’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces need more care. Sash-style windows or flush casements that keep the original bays and glazing bar layout look right there. Coventry’s many 1930s semis suit A-rated casements, sometimes with top-light bars for a period touch, and a composite front door, which we supply and fit with Ultion 11-pin locks. For the back of the house, aluminium bifolds or a sliding door are a popular swap for an old patio door. If you own a leasehold flat, get the freeholder’s agreement before you order.
Windows and doors in Coventry: your questions answered
Do you cover Coventry?
Yes. Coventry is about 21 miles from our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane in Leicester, and our own installers fit windows and doors across the city and its suburbs. You can come and see frames, colours and doors in the showroom, or we can visit your home to survey and measure. Call 0116 283 1010 and we will arrange a time.
I live in Earlsdon. Can I replace my front windows?
You may need permission first. Coventry City Council made central Earlsdon a conservation area in 2022, with an Article 4 Direction that removes permitted development rights for changes facing the street. So new front windows or doors on a house there usually need planning permission, and details like bays and glazing bars matter. Check with Coventry City Council before you order.
What about homes near Spon Street or Greyfriars Green?
Both are long-standing conservation areas, and Spon Street has many listed timber-framed buildings. A listed home needs listed building consent for any window or door change, and uPVC may not be accepted. Other houses usually follow the normal replacement rules, while flats can need planning permission. Coventry City Council can tell you exactly what applies to your address.
What suits a post-war house I bought from the council?
Most post-war Coventry houses have plain openings that suit a simple A-rated casement in white or anthracite grey. If your neighbours have similar windows, matching the style keeps the terrace or estate looking tidy. Add a composite front door with Ultion 11-pin locks for security. It is also worth checking your deeds for covenants about the outside of the house.
