Windows, doors and conservatories supplied and fitted in Wigston
Sign Windows in Wigston
Wigston, in the LE18 postcode, has two main kinds of housing. The older streets of Wigston Magna and South Wigston hold Victorian and Edwardian terraces, some near the Framework Knitters’ Museum and some inside conservation areas. Around them are wide stretches of 1930s and post-war semis. The terraces need frames that respect their period look, while the semis mostly want warm, secure, low-maintenance replacements for ageing windows and doors.
Sign Windows is a family run firm with nearly 40 years of experience. Our factory and showroom on Saffron Lane is about 2 miles north of Wigston, and that is where we make our uPVC windows and doors. Our own team of installers fits them. We start with a home visit, measure each opening and explain what will suit the house. We also supply and fit composite doors, and offer aluminium windows and doors, conservatories, solid roofs and roofline. We are FENSA approved, so we self-certify the work and send you the certificate.

Homes in Wigston
Wigston’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces usually look best with flush casements or sash-style windows, often with slim glazing bars, so the front keeps its period feel. A woodgrain foil or soft heritage colour can help on the older streets. The many 1930s and post-war semis are well suited to a standard A-rated casement, with a leaded detail if the house had one before. Bay windows on these semis should be measured and made together. On terraced streets, a traditional composite front door, which we supply and fit, finishes the look and needs little upkeep. Bungalows and later homes often benefit from new fascias and soffits at the same time, and many semis have older conservatories ready for a solid roof.
Windows and doors in Wigston: your questions answered
Is South Wigston a conservation area?
Part of it is. Oadby and Wigston Borough Council has designated a conservation area in South Wigston, and the borough has other conservation areas too. Like-for-like window replacement on a house is usually permitted development, but conservation areas and listed buildings can be treated differently. Check your address with Oadby and Wigston Borough Council before ordering, and we will match the style needed.
Can I replace the windows in my Wigston flat?
Usually, but check first. In a flat or maisonette the windows may belong to the building, so look at your lease and ask the freeholder or managing agent. Flats do not have the same permitted development rights as houses, so it is worth asking Oadby and Wigston Borough Council whether approval is needed. Once agreed, we survey and give you a quote.
What windows and doors suit a Wigston semi?
Most 1930s and post-war semis here suit A-rated uPVC casements, with Secured by Design twin cam locking. Add leaded detail if the originals had it. A composite or uPVC front door with an Ultion 11-pin lock is a popular match, and Ultion offers its own £1,000 security guarantee. At the back, French or patio doors are a simple upgrade.
