Plantation Shutters in Brentford

Brentford is TW8, a town that has changed a lot: older terraces with Victorian bays, riverside apartments along the Thames and the Grand Union Canal, and family homes with wider rear-extension glazing in between. We fit the compact older windows and the newer apartment openings too, keeping the proportions right and the room light. Shutters look right in a traditional room or a contemporary one.

We match the shutter to each window rather than fitting one style across the home. On busier streets and in the riverside developments, privacy and glare control often matter more than detailing, so we work that out window by window at the survey.

Tall, narrow windows on the older terraces usually suit tier on tier or cafe style: privacy at street level without losing the light above. Victorian bays suit full height shutters, measured to the exact angles, for a clean modern feel. Dry living rooms and bedrooms can use Hardwood for real timber character.

Bathrooms and kitchens call for waterproof Polycomposite, which is reinforced and better insulated for wet and harder-working rooms. Wider modern glazing and patio doors off a kitchen or garden room suit tracked shutters that slide clear when the doors are open and close flat for evening privacy. Home-office windows often get the most from a layout you can adjust through the day. We talk it through room by room and recommend what actually works.

Shutters fit inside the window, so they usually sit outside the rules that cover windows and doors, even where a street has stronger protection. That makes them a sympathetic answer where changing the windows themselves is restricted, on older Brentford elevations as much as on newer ones.

If your home is listed, or you are not sure, we will tell you to check with the council first, and we will spec the shutters to suit the original windows either way.

We price by the square metre, so the cost tracks the size of your windows. Express is £315/sqm in Polycomposite, £380/sqm in Hardwood. Plan & Save is £260/sqm either way. The home survey is free, there is no deposit until you order, and we confirm the exact figure before you commit.

Express shutters are UK-made and usually fitted in about 2 to 3 weeks. Plan & Save, made overseas to the same spec, takes around 8 to 9 weeks. Both carry the same guarantee: 5 years on Hardwood, 10 years on Polycomposite.
