Professional Plantation Shutter Fitting, Removal and Refitting

Can you fit shutters I already own?

Yes. We fit compatible plantation shutters you already own, whether they came from an online supplier, showroom, ex-display set, inheritance or another home. Before quoting, we compare the complete frame, panels and hardware with the measured opening, identify missing or incompatible parts and explain whether fitting or limited adaptation is practical.

Can you remove and refit shutters around replacement-window work?

Yes. We can define the removal, transport and protected storage scope before replacement-window or decorating work begins, then return when the reveal, plaster, trim, sill and sealant are complete. Refitting is confirmed only after the labelled shutter set and completed opening pass the final fixing, handle, vent and panel-movement checks.

Which customer-owned shutters do we fit?

Shutter Installation fits compatible customer-owned plantation shutters supplied online, from a showroom or ex-display stock, inherited with a property or moved from another opening. The complete frame, panels and hardware must suit the measured opening. New made-to-measure supply remains a separate Shutters Design service.

• Bays, awkward and period windows: we assess every section of a bay together and check angles, fixing surfaces, handles and panel clearance before accepting compatible customer-owned shutters.

• Supported shutter layouts: full-height, tier-on-tier, cafe-style and tracked systems when the supplied frames, panels and hardware suit the opening.

• Shutters you supply: bought elsewhere, ex-display or moved from another home. No purchase from us is required for fitting-only work.

• A previous fit put right: panels that were left crooked, gappy or badly packed by someone else, re-hung and squared up.

What do we check before fitting?

A fitting assessment checks the complete supplied assembly, measured opening, fixing surface and operating clearance before the job is confirmed. Frame sections, panels and hardware must work together, while louvres and panels must clear handles, vents, sills, radiators and furniture through their normal movement.

• Complete supplied assembly: every frame section, panel, hinge, catch, magnet and specified fixing must be present. Missing parts are identified before a fitting date is agreed.

• Opening dimensions and frame layout: we compare measured width, height, squareness, posts and returns with the assembled shutter dimensions rather than relying on one headline measurement.

• Sound fixing surface: the reveal, plaster, trim, tiles or window frame must support the supplied shutter frame in a level position without distortion.

• Operating clearance: panels and louvres must clear handles, vents, sills, radiators and furniture through normal opening, closing and resting positions.
