Sign Windows in Evington
Evington, on the eastern side of Leicester, still has a recognisable old village at its heart, with St Denys church, cottages and Evington Park. Spread around it are interwar semis and detached houses, then post-war bungalows, semis and town houses. Many of these homes are on their second or third set of windows now, and the usual complaints are cold draughts, frames that have yellowed and front doors that no longer lock as they should.
Sign Windows is a family run business with nearly 40 years serving Leicestershire and the East Midlands. We make uPVC windows in our Leicester factory, supply and fit composite doors with Ultion 11-pin locks, and install aluminium windows and doors, conservatories, porches and roofline. Our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane is about 2 miles away. Our own installers do the fitting and, because we are FENSA approved, we self-certify the work and you receive the certificate.

Homes in Evington
Interwar semis in Evington usually look right with traditional casements, and where there is a bay, we make the sections as a matched set, with leaded or bar detail if the house had it originally. Post-war bungalows and estate houses suit neat white or grey casements with a modern composite door. The cottages in the old village need a gentler touch, so flush casements or sliding sash windows in a heritage colour are the better fit there. Many post-war houses also have an old single glazed porch, which can be replaced at the same time as the windows and front door so everything matches.
Windows and doors in Evington: your questions answered
Do you cover Evington?
Yes. Evington is about 2 miles from our Saffron Lane factory, so it is close and easy for us to reach. We offer home visits and surveys right across the area, from the old village to the post-war estates, and our own team fits every job. Call 0116 283 1010 or email info@signwindows.com to arrange a visit.
Does the Evington Village conservation area affect my windows?
It might. The conservation area covers the old village centre, from Evington Park down to Shady Lane, and Leicester City Council has been reviewing its appraisal and management plan. Like-for-like replacement is usually fine on a house elsewhere, but conservation areas can have extra controls on windows and doors. Check with Leicester City Council before ordering if you live in the old village.
Can I replace windows in an Evington flat?
Usually, but flats and maisonettes do not get the same permitted development rights as houses. Start with your lease, because the freeholder or managing agent may have to give consent. If the new windows will look different from the old ones, ask Leicester City Council whether planning permission applies. Once that is clear, we can come out to survey.
What should I choose for a cottage in the old village?
Slim, traditional designs suit the cottages well. Flush casements sit level with the frame like old timber windows, and sliding sash windows suit houses that had sashes originally. A woodgrain or heritage colour keeps the look in character. If the cottage is listed or inside the conservation area, check with Leicester City Council before you choose.
