How our plantation shutters are built
Plantation shutters are the longest-lasting window treatment we install. Because every panel is built to the millimetre, they sit flush in the recess and frame the window cleanly — even on older properties where openings are rarely square.
We work mostly in poplar hardwood for painted finishes and ABS-reinforced ranges for bathrooms and kitchens. Hinges, tilt rods and frames are all chosen to suit the style of the room, not pulled from a one-size catalogue.
Before you book a survey in Dover
- How long the plantation shutters will last — we guarantee the product for life and the install for 5 years.
- What the lead time is — typically 6–10 weeks from order to fit for plantation shutters.
- Whether the price includes fitting and disposal of the old dressings (it does).
- How the colour or fabric will look in their actual room rather than a showroom.
Our promise on every Dover job
- The same fitter from first measure to final adjustment.
- A written, itemised quote in your inbox the same day.
- Lead times confirmed in writing before we take a deposit.
- If anything's not right at handover, we re-make at our cost.
