Sign Windows in Uppingham
Sign Windows is a family run company with nearly 40 years of serving Leicestershire and the East Midlands. We are based at our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane in Leicester, and our own installers cover Uppingham and the villages of south Rutland.
Uppingham is a small market town, well known for its school, with a centre of warm local stone around the Market Place and High Street. Much of that centre is a conservation area, and a good number of buildings are listed, so replacement windows and doors there need to stay in keeping with the street. Beyond the centre, post-war and more recent houses usually just want frames that are warm, secure and easy to look after. 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 visit, measure each opening with care and explain the choices clearly. We are FENSA approved, so you get the certificate when the job is complete. Call 0116 283 1010 to arrange a survey.

Homes in Uppingham
The stone period houses in the middle of Uppingham generally suit flush casements or sash-style windows, with slim glazing bars and a woodgrain or heritage colour that keeps the frames in step with the street. Stone openings are rarely square, so each frame is made to the size we measure rather than a stock size. Listed homes and those in the conservation area should check with the council before choosing anything. The post-war and newer homes further out look smart with A-rated casements in white or grey and a sturdy composite front door with an Ultion 11-pin lock. Where there is a garden to open onto, French doors or aluminium bifolds are a popular choice.
Windows and doors in Uppingham: your questions answered
Can I have uPVC windows in the Uppingham conservation area?
Often, yes, depending on the house. Like-for-like replacement on a house is usually permitted development, but Rutland County Council looks more carefully at changes to the front of buildings in the conservation area. Designs that copy the originals, such as flush casements or sash-style frames with the right glazing bars, are the safest route. Check with the council before you place an order.
My Uppingham home is listed. What should I do first?
Speak to Rutland County Council's planning team before anything else. Listed buildings normally need listed building consent to change windows or doors, inside or out, and uPVC is often refused on listed homes. Once you know what the council will accept, we can tell you honestly whether one of our designs would suit, or whether it is not the right fit for your property.
Are the rules different for flats in Uppingham?
Yes. Flats and maisonettes do not have the permitted development rights that houses have, so even identical-looking windows can need planning permission from Rutland County Council. If you are a leaseholder, the windows may belong to the building, so ask the freeholder or managing agent too. We can survey and quote, and our FENSA certificate covers Building Regulations once fitted.
Do you cover Uppingham?
Yes. Uppingham is about 17 miles from our Saffron Lane factory in Leicester, and our own installers work across the town and nearby villages such as Lyddington and Bisbrooke. We offer home visits and surveys, and you can visit the showroom first to see the frames, door styles and colours side by side. Call 0116 283 1010 to arrange a time.
