Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

Do you offer motorised plantation shutters for Lympne homes?

Yes — battery, rechargeable and hard-wired motors are all available. Most ranges integrate with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit.

How long does a plantation shutters survey take in Lympne?

Most surveys take 45–60 minutes per property. We measure every window, talk through finishes against your actual rooms, and leave you with a written quote.

How long do plantation shutters take from order to fit?

Most painted hardwood ranges are 6–8 weeks; specialist shaped or motorised orders can run to 10–12 weeks. We confirm timings in writing at your design visit.

Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Lympnefor Bay Windows

For plantation shutters in Lympne, the survey decides everything. We'd rather spend an extra 20 minutes on the measure than rework a panel after fit.

Plantation Shutters for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.

Conservation-area plantation shutters in Lympne

We went with a face-fix shutter that doesn't touch the original glazing bars — the conservation officer signed it off without issue.

Coastal plantation shutters for an exposed window

Salt and wind ruled out timber — we used an ABS-waterproof range and a side-channel cassette to stop the fabric rattling.
