Kingston Plantation Shutters, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Team for Period Properties
For Kingston's period cottages, where window reveals are rarely square, our bespoke full-height plantation shutters offer a precise fit. Handcrafted to account for the unique character of older frames, they provide both privacy and light control. The painted and natural finishes complement the village's quiet lanes, ensuring your window dressings are as unique as your property, rather than merely standard sizes that highlight imperfections.
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.

About our plantation shutters
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.
