Plantation Shutters in Kew

Kew sits in the TW9 postcode, a calm corner of leafy villas, terraces, and cottages on quiet conservation-led streets where proportion and restraint matter. The windows are often tall sashes and front-room bays, with wider garden-facing glazing on the family rooms at the back. Shutters suit all of it, and they look right in a traditional room or a contemporary one.

We measure and fit every window ourselves, so the proportions stay right and the rooms stay light. We work it out at the survey, window by window, not one stock style forced across the house.

Tall sash windows usually suit tier on tier or cafe style, so you get privacy at street level without losing the light from the top. Front-room bays suit full height shutters, measured to the exact angles so they sit neatly inside the frame and keep the clean lines of the original window.

On the wider garden-facing family rooms at the rear, the brief shifts to whole rooms and broader glazing. There, full height panels or a tracked run on a top track sit across the opening, clearing aside in the day and closing flat for evening privacy.

We choose the material room by room. Bathrooms and kitchens call for waterproof Polycomposite, which is also the more practical premium choice on exposed, sunlit glazing where reinforcement, easy upkeep, and better insulation matter. Dry living rooms and bedrooms can use Hardwood for real timber character.

You can see recent installations in our gallery, and pricing is confirmed in writing before you commit. We talk it through room by room and recommend what actually works.

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 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. Hardwood carries a 5 year guarantee, Polycomposite a 10 year guarantee.
