Premium Plantation Shutters Fitted Across Hawkingefor Period Properties

Customers in Hawkinge usually shortlist us alongside one chain and one online quote — and once they've seen the survey difference, the decision tends to make itself.

Plantation Shutters for period properties: what we look for

Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.

  • Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
  • Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
  • Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
  • Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.

The non-negotiables, every Hawkinge job

  • We never quote without measuring.
  • We never substitute a fabric or finish without showing you first.
  • We never leave site until every blind or shutter is operated and checked.
  • We never charge for site visits during the warranty period.

What to think about for Hawkinge

  • Survey, manufacture, fitting and disposal of existing dressings.
  • All brackets, fixings and tensioners — nothing added on at fit.
  • Sample visit and any colour-match work on painted ranges.
  • 5-year install warranty and the product warranty in writing.
