Made-to-measure plantation shutters in Wandsworth

This page is for Wandsworth town, in the SW18 postcode district. The wider London Borough of Wandsworth also takes in districts outside our service area, so we check the full address before a survey is booked.

Wandsworth town includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion block flats, and newer flats near the river. A terrace can have a bay at the front and wide glass doors at the back. A mansion flat can have tall windows, and a newer flat can have floor-to-ceiling glass.

So we do not start from a standard layout. We measure every window on its own and plan the panels around how you use the room, including where furniture sits and which catches you need to reach.

If you are comparing custom window treatments for a Wandsworth home, the main difference with shutters is that each panel is made to the measured size of your window and fixed into the frame, not hung in front of it.

For a bay, full height shutters can run from top to bottom on each face. Bay angles vary, so we measure every face before the panels are set out. Our bay window shutters page shows the layouts in more detail.

On a tall sash facing the street, tier on tier shutters let the top and bottom panels open separately. You can keep the lower panels closed for privacy and open the top for light.

For a ground-floor room close to the pavement, cafe style shutters cover only the lower part of the window, so daylight still comes in at the top.

Wide glass doors at the back can take shutters that run on a track and fold to one side, so the doors still open. We check there is room for the panels to stack clear before you order.

Prices are set per square metre, so a small window costs less than a large one. Plan & Save is £260/sqm in either material. Express is £315/sqm in Polycomposite and £380/sqm in Hardwood. All published shutter rates include VAT, the home survey, supply and fitting.

Express shutters are UK-made and take about 2 to 3 weeks. Plan & Save is made overseas to the same specification and takes about 8 to 9 weeks. Both lead times begin once your 50% deposit is paid and your order is placed.

The survey is free and there is no deposit until you order. We confirm the exact price for each window in writing before you commit. For the full breakdown, see our plantation shutter prices.

Polycomposite is waterproof, so it suits bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet or humid rooms. It has metal insertions inside the louvres and frame, which give better thermal and noise insulation. It carries a 10 year guarantee.

Hardwood is real timber and lighter for larger panels, so it suits dry living rooms and bedrooms. It carries a 5 year guarantee. One order can mix both materials room by room, with the colour and panel lines kept consistent.

Within either material, you choose the style for each window. We talk through privacy, daylight, and how the window opens before recommending one.

Start by sending your postcode, and we usually respond within 24 hours. The free home survey takes 30 to 45 minutes. We measure every window and talk you through each room.

You get a written quote for each window before you decide. When you are ready, a 50% deposit places the order.

The same family team fits the shutters. A normal shutter fitting takes 1.5 to 4 hours, and most whole houses take half a day to a day. Large jobs, bays and shaped or tracked windows can take longer or run over several days.
