Shutters in Guildford

Guildford's historic core is built on a steep chalk slope, and the older housing on and around the Mount, Quarry Street and Castle Hill includes Georgian and earlier property with small, irregular openings inside a conservation area. Shutters in those rooms are almost always made to a full survey of each individual window, because no two are the same size even on the same elevation.

Charlotteville and the streets below Pewley Down are dense Victorian terraces built for the hospital and the town, with narrow frontages and front doors close to the pavement. Privacy is the main brief and tier on tier or cafe style keeps daylight in rooms that are already shaded by the hill opposite.

Merrow, Burpham and the roads towards Guildford Park are largely twentieth century and modern, with wide casements, patio doors and, in the newer developments, sizeable rear glazing. Those are straightforward openings that suit full height shutters, and they are the rooms where a wider louvre gives the best balance between view out and control of the low winter sun.

Every job starts with a home consultation, and nothing is ordered until a full technical survey has been done and the price is confirmed. Installation is by our trusted team, and every shutter is backed by our ten-year guarantee.
