Plantation Shutters in Epsom

Epsom is a Surrey spa town, the home of Epsom salts, with the racecourse and the Derby up on the Downs. The homes are a real mix: timber sash and bay windows on the older villa streets, suburban family houses, and newer flats and rear-extension glazing. Shutters suit all three, and they look right in a traditional room or a contemporary one.

Worple Road and Woodcote are conservation areas of late-Victorian villas. On streets like these we spec the shutter to suit the original window, not force one style on the whole house. We work that out at the survey, window by window, and you can see recent Epsom installations in our gallery.

Tall sash windows usually suit tier on tier or cafe style: privacy at street level without losing the light. Bay windows suit full height shutters, measured to the exact angles. The 1930s family streets towards Ewell take a clean full-height spec across the front bays.

Out on the Stamford Green and Epsom Common side, and across the Downs, the brief is often a whole-house scheme. We mix Hardwood in the dry living rooms and bedrooms for real timber character, and waterproof Polycomposite through the bathrooms and kitchens. We recommend room by room what actually works.

Hardwood gives you real timber character and a five-year guarantee, which is why it fits so well in traditional reception rooms. Polycomposite is waterproof, reinforced, better for insulation, and carries a ten-year guarantee, so it earns its place in bathrooms, kitchens and busier family rooms.

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. You get a written quote with that pricing in plain figures, the survey is free, and there is no deposit until you order.

The survey is a single home visit. We measure every window, bring physical samples of both ranges, and leave you with a written specification and clear pricing within a couple of working days. There is no obligation and no deposit until you confirm.

Express shutters are made in the UK and usually fitted in about 2 to 3 weeks. Plan & Save, made overseas to the same spec, takes around 8 to 9 weeks. If your home is in a conservation area or listed, shutters go on the inside so they usually sit outside the window rules, but we will point you to the council to confirm first and spec to suit the original windows either way.
