A Cambridge townhouse rarely gives you a simple window. Tall openings, narrow bays, glazing inches from the pavement — the city's Victorian terraces and period townhouses are full of character and short on privacy. Plantation shutters were made for exactly this: fitted to the window itself, tilted to let daylight pour in while blocking the view from the street, and smart enough to suit rooms that have stood for a century or more. We survey, build to measure and fit window shutters across Cambridge from our Cambridgeshire base, starting with a free technical survey and a written quote.
Privacy is the problem shutters solve most elegantly. Net curtains block the view both ways; blinds are either up or down. Louvred shutters split the difference — angle the slats and light comes in while sightlines from the pavement are cut off entirely. Cafe style shutters take this further on ground-floor rooms, covering just the lower glass so the top of the window stays completely open. Tier-on-tier covers the full height in two independent sections, letting you fold the top panels back on a bright day.
Every set we fit is built from a technical survey, which is essential in older properties where openings are rarely square and reveals vary brick by brick. Full-height window shutters start from £200, cafe style and tier-on-tier from £250, and bay windows or arched openings are built as special shapes from £350 so the frames follow the architecture instead of fighting it. Closed at night, shutters also add a useful layer against heat loss — they can improve window insulation by up to 40 per cent.
Choose us on the numbers if you like: 4.9 stars from 152 Google reviews, a free technical survey with a written quote, and a Price Match Guarantee. Or choose us on the approach — a family-run Cambridgeshire firm whose own experts do the measuring and the fitting, with no subcontractors between promise and result.
There is no obligation at any point and no hard sell; the survey is genuinely technical rather than a sales visit. Every product is backed by our warranty — we confirm the exact cover for your product in your written quote. If you are comparing quotes, we would rather talk you through ours line by line than rush you into a decision.
Cambridge's housing is a test of precision: Victorian terraces with slim bays, period townhouses with tall sashes, and streets where frontages have barely changed in a century. Shutters suit all of it, fitted inside the glass so nothing alters outside, and built to measure so out-of-true frames are accommodated rather than exposed.
We travel to Cambridge regularly from our base in Yaxley, near Peterborough — the firm covers Cambridgeshire and the East of England, and the city is a fixture in the fitting diary. Terraced streets also make neighbours the best advertising there is; one straight, well-hung set of shutters tends to lead to three more on the same road.
Yes — slim Victorian bays are a staple of our work. Each face of the bay is measured separately at the survey and the frames are built as special shapes, so the panels sit square and the louvre lines run level across the whole window.
As a starting guide: window shutters from £200, cafe style and tier-on-tier from £250, bi-fold from £270, special shapes from £350 and door shutters from £450. Because everything is built to your windows, your exact figure comes in a written quote after the free technical survey, with a Price Match Guarantee behind it.
No — please do not. One of our own experts carries out a free technical survey, measuring every opening and checking squareness, obstructions and fixing points. It is the measuring that makes made to measure shutters work, so we never build from customer-supplied sizes.
Very. There is no fabric to trap dust or smells, so a wipe along the louvres keeps them fresh — useful in kitchens, bathrooms and shared houses alike. They are also solidly fixed, with no cords to tangle or pulls to snap.
