Shutters in Richmond

Richmond has an unusually high proportion of listed and conservation area property, from the Georgian terraces on Richmond Green and Maids of Honour Row to the protected views up Richmond Hill. Those houses carry original timber sashes with fine glazing bars, and the correct specification is a narrower louvre and a slim frame so the shutter does not overwhelm the window when it is open.

East Sheen, North Sheen and the roads off the Upper Richmond Road are mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis with the standard bay front and a long, thin rear extension. The back of these houses is where the awkward work is: a kitchen window over a worktop, a door with a handle in the way, and often a slim side return with roof glazing added later.

Kew and the streets near the Gardens include a lot of Arts and Crafts and inter war stock with casements and leaded lights, plus a steady stream of loft conversions with roof windows. Fitted blinds sized to the specific roof window model are the reliable answer there, because generic sizes never seal properly against the frame.

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.
