Shutters in Watford

Nascot Wood and the Cassiobury conservation area hold most of Watford's period housing: Victorian and Edwardian villas and semis with bay fronts, sash windows and tall first floor openings. These are the properties where the shutter has to look like part of the building, so the specification usually runs to a narrower louvre, a mid rail on the original sight line and a paint finish matched to the existing joinery.

West Watford, Callowland and Leavesden are largely terraced, with smaller front rooms directly onto the pavement. Privacy is immediate rather than theoretical there, and cafe style shutters on the lower half of the window are often the most proportionate answer, keeping the top of the window clear for daylight in rooms that do not have much of it.

The town centre and the roads around the stadium and the Junction have added a lot of apartment stock in the last decade, typically with floor to ceiling glazing and juliet balconies. Those openings are effectively doors, so panels are hung to clear the handles and made to track back fully against the reveal rather than folding into the room.

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.
