Transform Your Home's Security and Energy Efficiency with Expert Shutter Installation

The Truth About Shutter Repairs (No Sales Pitch!)

Let's be honest - when your shutters break, you have two options:

1. 1.Call someone for a "quick fix" (which often means replacing everything)

2. 2.Get a proper custom repair (which saves you money and headache)

At Shutter Installation UK, we've been fixing shutters for over a decade. Here's what we've learned: most shutter problems don't need expensive replacements.

Our customers regularly tell us they wish they'd found us sooner. Why? Because custom repairs cost about 60-70% less than buying new shutters, and they often look even better than the originals.

Why Your Neighbours Keep Asking "Where Did You Get Those Done?"

It All Comes Down to the Details

Generic repairs focus on "making it work again."
Custom repairs focus on making it work perfectly - like it was always meant to be there.

Think about it: your shutters are probably unique to your home. Different window sizes, different styles, different materials. So why would you trust a "one-size-fits-all" repair?

What Makes Our Approach Different

Before we touch anything, we:

• Take photos of every angle (so we can match everything perfectly)

• Ask about your daily routine (when you use them most, any quirks)

• Check what kind of wear and tear you've put them through

• Think about your home's character (we don't want to repair something that looks completely out of place)

The result? Shutters that don't just work - they look like they were always part of your home.

The Real Money Story (Spoiler: It's Not What You Think)

Let's Talk Numbers

Most people think, "I need new shutters" the moment something breaks. But here's the reality:

Replacing everything: £800-£1,500 for a typical room
Smart custom repair: £150-£350 for the same room
The difference: £450-£1,150 back in your pocket

But Wait, There's More...

Energy savings - Properly repaired shutters can cut your energy bills by 20-30%. That's £200-£400 back every year.
Property value - Well-maintained shutters can add £3,000-£8,000 to your home's value.
Longevity - Our custom repairs typically last 15-20 years, sometimes even longer.

"I was shocked when they showed me how much I was going to save. And my energy bills have definitely dropped!" - Sarah from London

Why "Do It Yourself" Often Backfires

We see it all the time: people try to fix their shutters themselves, then call us when it gets worse. Here's why:

The Good News: Most shutter problems are actually quite simple to fix.
The Bad News: One small mistake can turn a £30 repair into a £300 problem.

Common DIY disasters we fix:

• Wrong measurements (buy parts that don't fit)

• Wrong tools (strip screws, break things)

• Wrong parts (compatible ≠ correct)

• Quick fixes that don't last (do it again next year)

Our advice: Try the quick DIY fix for £10-20. If it doesn't work perfectly in 24 hours, call us before you make it worse.
