Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Wittersham for Period Properties
For Wittersham's period cottages and farmhouses, particularly those overlooking the Rother Levels, our full-height plantation shutters offer a practical solution. Custom-made to fit the unique dimensions of older sash and casement windows, they account for the non-square reveals typical of properties around the village green. The bespoke fitting ensures a neat finish, avoiding unsightly gaps often seen with off-the-shelf options in these characterful homes.
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.
