Plantation Shutters in Merton Park

Merton Park grew up as a garden suburb in the John Innes tradition, so the streets have a calm, well-ordered feel and the houses sit on generous, leafy plots. The housing is a mix: older family homes with bays and sash-style windows, modern family houses, and flats, often with wider glazing to the rear. Shutters look right in all of them, traditional front room or contemporary kitchen alike.

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.

The garden-suburb streets here already have a settled rhythm, so shutters need to feel measured and well proportioned rather than fighting the architecture. Tall sash-style windows usually suit tier on tier or cafe style, privacy at street level without losing the daylight. Front bays suit full height shutters, measured to the exact angles so the line stays clean.

Rear family spaces and bedrooms are where the layout often makes the clearest difference. There we plan full height shutters for everyday use, or tracked runs across wider patio and bifold openings so the shutters clear aside when the doors open and close flat for evening privacy.

We choose the material room by room. Bathrooms and kitchens call for waterproof, reinforced Polycomposite, which also holds up well on exposed, sunlit glazing and adds a little insulation. Dry living rooms and bedrooms can use Hardwood where real timber character is part of the brief.

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.
