Sign Windows in Markfield
Markfield is a big village just off junction 22 of the M1, built around the old Hill Hole quarry that is now a nature reserve. The stone buildings in its historic core tell the story of farming and quarrying, while the estates that grew up around them in the late 20th century are full of semis, bungalows and detached family homes. A lot of those houses still have their first double glazing, and by now it is often misted, warped or letting the wind through.
Sign Windows is a family run company with nearly 40 years serving Leicestershire and the East Midlands. We make uPVC windows and uPVC doors in our own Leicester factory, and we supply and fit composite doors with Ultion 11-pin locks. We also fit aluminium windows and bifolds, patio and French doors, conservatories, solid roofs and roofline. We are FENSA approved, our own installers do the fitting, and every job begins with a home visit. You are welcome to call in at our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane to see frames and colours first.

Homes in Markfield
The stone cottages in the old centre look most at home with flush casements or sash-style windows in a muted, traditional colour, paired with a panelled front door that suits the age of the building. Out on the estates, standard uPVC casements in white, grey or woodgrain are a sensible choice, and a composite front door gives the house a smarter face and better security. Many family homes here have room at the back for French doors or aluminium bifolds onto the garden. On newer developments, owners usually want frames that match what the builder fitted, so we keep the colour and layout consistent with the rest of the street.
Windows and doors in Markfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Markfield?
Yes. Markfield is about 9 miles from our Saffron Lane factory, and we visit homes across the village and the surrounding area. We come out to measure, talk through styles and colours, and give you a quote. Our own installers then fit the job. Call 0116 283 1010 to book a home visit or to arrange a look round the showroom.
Does the Markfield conservation area affect my new windows?
It can. The historic core of Markfield has been a conservation area since 1979, and a few buildings in the village are listed. Swapping windows like-for-like on a house is usually fine, but homes inside the boundary or listed buildings may face extra controls. Ask Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council before you change the style, material or colour of windows facing the street.
Which windows suit a Markfield bungalow?
Most bungalows here suit standard uPVC casement windows, which are A-rated as standard and easy to clean from the ground. White is the usual choice, though grey or woodgrain can lift a plain front. If the bungalow has a lean-to or old conservatory at the back, a solid roof or new French doors can make that space far more usable all year.
I live in a Markfield flat. Can I replace my windows?
Often, yes, but flats and maisonettes do not have the same permitted development rights as houses. Check your lease first, because the freeholder or managing agent may need to give consent. If the new windows will look different from the old ones, ask Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council whether you need planning permission. Once that is clear, we can survey and quote.
