What we do

## Shutters done properly

Shutters are the only window covering that becomes part of the building. Curtains and blinds can be swapped in an afternoon; a shutter is scribed to your reveal, hung on its own frame and expected to close flush every day for years. That is why we measure every opening ourselves, order to those measurements, and fit with our own installation team rather than handing the job to a third party.

Everything we supply is made to measure. Nothing is trimmed down from a stock width on your windowsill, so the frames sit square, the panels meet in the middle without a gap, and the louvres line up across a run of windows in the same room. On a bay or a wide living-room elevation that alignment is what separates a bespoke installation from a set of shutters that simply happen to be in the same wall.

You choose the configuration room by room: full-height panels where you want privacy and a clean vertical line, café-style across the lower half of a sash where the street is close, tier-on-tier where you want to open the top and keep the bottom closed, and solid or shaped panels where a window is anything other than a plain rectangle.

See examples of our shutters or browse the full photo gallery of recent installations.

### Who it’s for

- Homeowners who want a permanent finish rather than something to replace in three years.
- Front rooms on busy roads where privacy matters during the day but daylight still does too.
- Bay windows, box sashes and awkward reveals that stock products cannot cover neatly.
- Landlords and developers finishing a property to a standard that survives changeovers.
- Commercial premises, offices, salons and consulting rooms, needing privacy without blocking light.

### When you need it

- You are redecorating and want the window dressing to set the room rather than follow it.
- Existing curtains or blinds are gathering dust, sagging, or no longer close properly.
- You have moved in and the previous owner's window coverings do not fit the openings.
- A room overheats in summer or feels draughty in winter with nothing across the glass.
- You are tired of replacing cheap blinds in the same windows every couple of years.

### Why professional measuring and fitting matters

- Reveals are rarely square. A professional survey records the deviation at several points and the frame is built to absorb it, so the panels still close.
- Bays need a plan, not a measurement: post positions, angles and hinge sides all have to be decided before the order goes in.
- Panel splits, louvre width and tilt style change how a window reads, decisions best made against your own light with samples in hand.
- Fixing into brick, timber sash boxes or plasterboard returns all need different fixings if the frame is to stay solid.
- We carry public liability insurance and quote in writing before anything is ordered, so the price you agree is the price you pay.

### Why customers choose this

- Full-height, café-style, tier-on-tier and bay window configurations
- Measured, made and fitted to your exact openings
- Precise light and privacy control room by room
- Adds a permanent, high-end finish that stays with the property
- Covered by the applicable product and manufacturer warrantiesRequest a Free QuoteFree measure, written quotation, no obligation.

What goes wrong

## What it costs to leave it
The faults and shortcuts we are called out to correct most often, and what they end up costing.

### Guessing the measurements costs the whole order
Shutters are manufactured to the numbers submitted. A reveal measured at one point instead of three, or a depth taken without allowing for the handle throw, produces panels that foul the window or leave a visible gap, and because they are bespoke, they cannot be exchanged. This is the single most expensive mistake in the trade, and it is why we survey rather than ask you to measure.

### Bare glass keeps costing you money
An uncovered window loses heat all winter and gains it all summer. Rooms behind south-facing glass overheat, sofas and flooring fade unevenly, and you end up drawing the heating or the fan into a problem the window created. A solid shutter panel adds a layer across the opening and gives you control over both.

### Cheap fittings fail where you can see them
Thin frames, soft hinges and undersized magnets are invisible on the day of installation and obvious six months later: panels that will not stay shut, louvres that drop under their own weight, tilt rods that rattle. Replacing a failed set costs more than specifying properly the first time.

### Delay through the wrong season
Shutters are made to order, so the gap between deciding and fitting is real. Leaving the decision until the sun is already in your eyes or the nights have already drawn in means living with the problem through the lead time. Booking the survey early is what removes that wait.

Our process

## Five steps from first call to handover
No surprises, no pressure and nothing ordered until you have approved the written quotation.

- Step 1
### Free home consultation
We come to you, look at every window you are considering, and bring samples so you can compare frames, louvre widths, finishes and tilt options against your own light and decorating. No obligation and no charge.

- Step 2
### Technical survey and measure
Each opening is measured at multiple points for width, drop and depth, and we record obstructions: handles, vents, tiled sills, sash horns and pipework, so the frame is designed around them.

- Step 3
### Written quotation and specification
You receive a clear written quotation listing configuration, finish and hardware for each window. Nothing is ordered until you approve it, and the agreed figure is the figure you pay.

- Step 4
### Bespoke manufacture
Your shutters are made to the surveyed measurements. Lead time depends on specification and level of customisation; your estimated fitting date is confirmed once the order is placed.

- Step 5
### Installation, testing and handover
We fit with dust sheets and foot covers, hang and align every panel, check each one closes and latches, adjust the louvre tension, take our waste away, and show you how to operate and clean them. Your shutters are covered by the applicable product and manufacturer warranties.

What you get

## The difference a proper shutters job makes

### Light you control by degree
Tilt the louvres and you keep the room bright while stopping a low sun or a direct line of sight from the pavement. No other window covering gives you privacy and daylight at the same time.

### Built to outlast several sets of blinds
A properly specified shutter is a rigid framed panel on engineered hinges, not fabric on a spring. It is the reason customers who have replaced blinds twice tend to buy shutters once.

### Warmer in winter, cooler in summer
A closed panel adds a layer across the glass, reducing draughts and heat loss compared with a bare window, and keeping direct sun off furnishings in summer.

### A finish that stays with the property
Shutters are fitted, not hung, so they read as part of the room. They present well to buyers and tenants and do not need taking down and replacing between occupants.

### Easy to live with
No cords to tangle, no fabric to launder and nothing to gather dust in folds. A wipe over with a dry cloth is the whole maintenance routine.

### One accountable team
The same company surveys, orders, fits and looks after the repair afterwards. If something needs adjusting later, you call us, not a manufacturer's helpline.

In detail

## Shutters: materials, methods and variations
The detail behind the quotation: what we specify, why, and how it changes room by room.

### Configurations we fit
The configuration matters more than the colour. Choosing correctly is the difference between shutters that solve the room and shutters that merely decorate it.

- Full-height: one continuous run of louvres from sill to head, optionally with a mid-rail so the top and bottom tilt separately. The cleanest look and the strongest privacy.
- Café-style: panels across the lower portion only, leaving the upper glass clear. Ideal for ground-floor rooms close to a pavement where you want screening at eye level and full daylight above.
- Tier-on-tier: separate upper and lower panels that open independently; open the top for air, keep the bottom closed for privacy. The most flexible option on a traditional sash.
- Solid and shaped panels: solid raised panels, or shapes cut to arches, angles and gable ends where a rectangular frame is not an option.
- Bay and bow windows: multi-panel layouts with planned posts and hinge sides so every section clears the reveal and the louvres align across the whole bay.
- Tracked and bi-fold runs: for wide openings and patio doors, where panels stack rather than swing into the room.

### Louvre widths, tilt options and finishes
Louvre width sets the character of the window. Narrower louvres suit smaller panes and period properties, keeping the proportions of a Victorian sash intact. Wider louvres give a more contemporary, plantation-style look, admit more light when open and are usually the better choice on tall or large panes.

Tilt control comes as a visible central rod, an offset rod moved to the side of the panel, or a hidden mechanism where the louvres are moved by hand and the front face stays uninterrupted. Hidden tilt is popular on modern interiors; a centre rod is the traditional detail and is often what a period room wants.

Finishes run from painted whites and off-whites through greys and heritage colours to stains that keep the timber grain visible. We match the finish to the joinery in the room: skirting, architrave and window board, rather than to a swatch in isolation, which is why the samples come to your house.

### Rooms, and what changes between them
Bedrooms are usually about darkness and privacy: full-height panels with a mid-rail, or tier-on-tier, and a tighter louvre closure. Bathrooms and kitchens carry moisture and heat, so a moisture-tolerant material specification matters more than the shade of white. Living rooms and bays are about the view and the light through the day, and often take a wider louvre. Home offices need glare control at screen height, which is exactly what an independently tilting upper tier gives you.

Commercial installations shift the emphasis again: privacy at a treatment couch or a consulting desk, durability under daily operation, and a specification that does not obstruct fire escape windows. We survey commercial premises on the same basis as homes and quote in writing.

### Residential and commercial across East London and Essex
We work from Chingford outward: Victorian and Edwardian terraces with box sash windows, 1930s semis with wide front bays, post-war estates with square reveals, and new apartments with deep uPVC frames. Each of those has a typical trap: sash horns, tiled sills, shallow beading depth, plasterboard returns, and knowing them in advance is what keeps a survey accurate.

If a repair is what you actually need, we do that too. Servicing existing shutters, including installations we did not originally fit, is part of our normal work, and we will tell you honestly when a repair makes more sense than a replacement.

Questions

## Shutters: the details
Cost, timeframes, guarantees and how the process actually runs.

How much do made-to-measure shutters cost in Chingford?+Price depends on the size of the opening, the configuration, the material and the finish, so we quote per window rather than by the metre. The consultation and quotation are free and carry no obligation, and the figure you approve in writing is the figure you pay: no adjustments after fitting.

How long do shutters take from order to fitting?+Shutters are bespoke, so lead time depends on the specification and the level of customisation. We offer competitive turnaround times and confirm your estimated fitting timeframe once the order is placed, so you have a date to plan around rather than a vague window.

Do shutters work on bay windows?+Bays are one of the best applications for shutters. The important part is planning: we set out panel widths, post positions and hinge sides at survey so each section opens clear of the reveal and the louvres line up across the whole bay.

Will shutters fit my window if the reveal is not square?+Yes. Very few reveals are truly square, particularly in older properties. Because the frame is made to your surveyed measurements, the deviation is designed out and the frame is scribed to the plaster on installation.

What guarantee comes with my shutters?+Your installation is covered by the applicable product and manufacturer warranties, which we set out for the specification you choose before you order. We are also insured for public liability, and we handle any aftercare directly rather than passing you to a supplier.

How long should shutters last?+Shutters are the most permanent window covering available and are specified to remain in place for the life of the room rather than a few seasons. Hinges and magnets are the parts that see wear, and both can be serviced, which is why we also run a repair service on existing shutters.

Do you fit shutters outside Chingford?+Yes. We cover Chingford, Loughton, Woodford Green, Waltham Abbey, Barnet, Stratford, Harlow, Hornchurch and Brentwood, across East London and Essex.

Can you repair or adjust shutters someone else installed?+Yes. We service and repair existing shutters, blinds and awnings, including installations we did not fit, and we will say plainly whether repair or replacement is the better value option before any work goes ahead.

Can I supply-only and fit them myself?+We offer supply-and-fit or supply-only depending on the product. With shutters, most customers choose supply-and-fit because the survey and the installation are where the accuracy lives, but we will talk you through both.

Do I need to be at home for the survey and the fitting?+Someone needs to be there so we can access the rooms and confirm decisions on configuration and finish. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:00am to 7:00pm, with Sunday by appointment, which is usually enough flexibility to work around a job.
