Sign Windows in Oakham
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 Oakham, the county town of Rutland, is one of the places our own installation team travels to regularly.
Oakham has two quite different sides. Around the castle, the Market Place and the High Street you find honey-coloured stone and old brick buildings, many of them in the conservation area. Out towards Barleythorpe and the other edges of town, newer estates have grown up quickly. The period houses need frames that look right in the street, and the newer homes mostly want warmth, security and very little upkeep. We make uPVC windows in our Leicester factory, supply and fit composite doors, and install French and patio doors, aluminium bifolds, conservatories, solid conservatory roofs and roofline. We come out, survey each opening and talk you through the options in plain terms. As we are FENSA approved, you receive the certificate once the work is finished. Call 0116 283 1010 to book a visit.

Homes in Oakham
The stone and brick homes in the centre of Oakham tend to suit flush casements or sash-style windows, with slim glazing bars and a traditional colour or woodgrain finish so the frames sit quietly in the wall. Many of these buildings are listed or in the conservation area, so it pays to check before you pick a style. The inter-war and post-war houses around town look smart with standard A-rated casements and a composite front door fitted with an Ultion 11-pin lock. On the newer estates at Barleythorpe, families often ask about French doors or aluminium bifolds to open the back of the house onto the garden, with a front door and windows in a matching colour.
Windows and doors in Oakham: your questions answered
Can I replace windows in Oakham's conservation area?
Often you can, but it is worth checking first. Like-for-like replacement on a house is usually permitted development, yet Rutland County Council can look more closely at changes in the conservation area, especially to the front of a property. Listed buildings normally need listed building consent. Once you know what the council will accept, we can match the original style, glazing bars and opening pattern.
I own a flat in Oakham. Are the rules different?
Yes. Flats and maisonettes do not have the permitted development rights that houses have, so new windows or doors can need planning permission from Rutland County Council even when they look the same as the old ones. Leaseholders usually need the freeholder's agreement as well. We can still survey and quote, and our FENSA certificate covers Building Regulations once the work is done.
Which windows and doors suit a new-build in Barleythorpe?
Most newer homes there suit A-rated uPVC casements in white or grey, and a composite front door. Swapping a back door for French doors or aluminium bifolds in the same opening is a popular change. Before you order, read your purchase paperwork for any planning conditions or covenants, and check whether a new-home warranty is still running and how changes affect it.
Do you cover Oakham?
Yes. Oakham is about 17 miles from our Saffron Lane factory in Leicester, and our own installers fit windows and doors across the town and the LE15 villages around it. We offer home visits and surveys, and you are welcome to call into the showroom first to see the frames, doors and colours. Ring 0116 283 1010 and we will find a time that suits you.
