Sign Windows in Whetstone
Whetstone has grown a long way from the small working village it once was. A handful of brick cottages and terraces still stand near the church, but most homes here went up in the second half of the 20th century, with estates of semis, detached houses and bungalows, and newer houses on the edges of the village. Many of those homes are now on their first or second set of double glazing, and it is starting to show.
We are Sign Windows, a family run firm with nearly 40 years of experience across Leicestershire and the East Midlands. We make our uPVC windows and doors at our factory on Saffron Lane, and our own team of installers fits them. Whether you want warmer rooms, fewer draughts, better locks or simply a fresher look for the front of the house, we can help. We come out to survey your home, talk through the options and measure every opening. Below you will find every window, door and conservatory service we offer in Whetstone.

Homes in Whetstone
The older cottages and terraces near the church look best with flush casements or sash-style windows that keep their slim proportions and sit well against the brickwork. The post-war semis and bungalows that fill most of the village suit standard A-rated casements, in white or a woodgrain foil if you want a warmer look. On a bungalow, a larger fixed pane beside an opening sash lets in more light. Newer houses on the edges of Whetstone usually just need efficient frames matched to the colour already there, so the street stays tidy. For doors, composite front doors are a popular choice here, with Ultion 11-pin locks, and French or sliding patio doors work well for opening a lounge or kitchen onto the garden.
Windows and doors in Whetstone: your questions answered
Do you cover Whetstone?
Yes. Whetstone is about 3 miles from our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane, on the same south side of Leicester, so it is very much on our patch. You are welcome to visit the showroom to see frames, colours and doors in person, or we can come to you for a home visit and survey. Call us on 0116 283 1010 to arrange either.
Is my older Whetstone house listed, and does that change things?
A few buildings in Whetstone are listed, Whetstone Grange among them. If your home is listed, most changes to windows and doors need listed building consent before any work starts. For an ordinary house, swapping old windows for new ones of a similar style is usually permitted development. If you are not sure of your home's status, Blaby District Council can confirm it before you place an order.
I rent or own a flat in Whetstone. Can I change the windows?
Flats work differently from houses. They do not carry the same permitted development rights, and the frames are often part of the building rather than yours. Read your lease and get the freeholder or managing agent to agree first, then ask Blaby District Council whether approval is needed. Once you have the go-ahead, we can survey and measure each window.
What should I choose for a 1970s Whetstone bungalow?
Plain, clean casements usually look right on bungalows of that age. White is the most common choice, and anthracite grey or a woodgrain foil can lift a dated frontage. Many owners replace the front door and patio doors at the same time so everything matches. Like-for-like replacement on a bungalow normally needs no planning permission, and as we are FENSA approved you get the certificate.
