Plantation shutters - it's a jungle out there! Post Reply

[DomesticJailBreaker]

Hi, does anyone have any views on/recommendations of companies to make and possibly also fit plantation shutters? Our most local one, the New England Shutter Co, has great products but seems pretty pricey. There are lots of online suppliers who are cheaper but I have no idea about their quality. Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks

BBS shutter Co!! They are based in banstead, small family run business. I am so pleased with my shutters and they were so reasonable compared to the other 3 quotes I had!! Paid less for hardwood shutters than all the other companies quoted for MDF!! Couldn't recommend them enough!! Good luck... www.bbs-shutter.co.uk.

Hi, we used the Traditional Shutter Company and were very happy with the results. This was a few years ago (2011 or 2012).

Hello
We used Diamond Shutters based in sidcup!
They do a lot of work in the Clapham area, they are cheaper than most shutter companies.
Really friendly and helpful with suggestions and bring a bag full of blinds to choose from with sizes and colours.
I can't recommend them enough, they have a website and a Facebook page where they upload all the work they carry out.

Thanks so much for your suggestions, Julesybear1 and Pie81 - apologies for not having thanked you before! Am getting a few quotes in and will contact both your suggested companies too.

Hi DomesticJailBreaker

I'm about to start looking for shutters too and wondered if you had got very far and had any advice to pass on.

Would be very grateful for any help!

Hi Hemma
I have had a couple of quotes but everything ground to a halt when I went on holiday for a couple of weeks. Just back so will progress and let you know the outcome.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Hope you had a lovely holiday. Would love to hear from you when you're back on the trail of the perfect shutter! Many thanks!
