Sign Windows in Thringstone
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 installers work in Thringstone, the village on the north-west side of Charnwood Forest near the ruins of Grace Dieu Priory.
Thringstone grew from farming and the nearby pits. Its older lanes have brick and stone cottages and Victorian terraces, and from there the village spreads into inter-war and post-war semis, a good number of bungalows, and newer houses towards Whitwick and Coalville. People here usually replace windows and doors because the old ones are draughty, stiff to open or have failed double glazing, and many also want a more secure, smarter frontage that still feels like a village home. We make uPVC windows in our Leicester factory, supply and fit composite doors, and install French and patio doors, conservatories, solid roofs and roofline. We visit, survey every opening and set out the choices clearly. We are FENSA approved and you receive the certificate when we finish. Call 0116 283 1010 to book.

Homes in Thringstone
Thringstone’s older cottages suit flush casements or sash-style windows in a heritage colour, with slim frames that leave the brick and stone on show. Victorian terraces work well with traditional casements, perhaps with glazing bars where the originals had them. The semis and bungalows that make up much of the village suit classic A-rated casements in white or a modern grey, and bungalow owners often choose wider panes with fewer bars to bring in more light. Across every style, a composite front door with an Ultion 11-pin lock is a popular upgrade, and French or patio doors give an easy step out to the garden.
Windows and doors in Thringstone: your questions answered
Do I need permission for new windows on an older Thringstone house?
For most houses, no. Like for like replacement is usually permitted development. Thringstone does have some listed buildings, though, and a listing needs listed building consent, while any conservation controls can affect materials and design. North West Leicestershire District Council can tell you what applies to your address, so check with them before you order and we will work to it.
Can flat owners in Thringstone replace their windows?
Often, but it takes more checking than for a house. Flats and maisonettes lack the permitted development rights houses have, so planning permission from North West Leicestershire District Council may be needed. Your lease may say the windows belong to the building, in which case the freeholder or managing agent must agree. After that we survey, quote and fit, and FENSA certification covers Building Regulations.
Which windows and doors suit Thringstone homes?
Bungalows and semis are well suited to A-rated uPVC casements and a composite front door, and you can change from white to grey or a woodgrain finish if the house is not listed or controlled. Older cottages suit flush casements or sash-style windows. If you have an old conservatory, a solid tiled roof can make it usable all year. One survey covers everything.
Do you cover Thringstone?
Yes. Thringstone is about 15 miles from our Saffron Lane factory, and our own installers work across this side of Charnwood Forest.
