Shutter prices depend on the size and shape of your windows, the material and how the panels are fitted. We provide a written quote after a free survey, so you can compare your options for the windows you actually have.
Standard window (single panel, up to 1.2m wide)
- MDF Antigua: painted finish for dry rooms
- ABS waterproof: suitable for bathrooms and kitchens
- Hardwood basswood: a natural wood-grain finish
Three-section splay bay (the most common Cheshire quote)
- MDF Antigua: painted finish for dry rooms
- ABS waterproof: suitable for bathrooms and kitchens
- Hardwood basswood: a natural wood-grain finish
- Hardwood stained finish: shows the timber grain
Bathroom window (ABS only)
For a bathroom, ask about waterproof ABS rather than standard MDF. The dimensions, opening and finish affect the price, which we confirm in a written quote after a free survey.
Whole-house quote (typical 3-bed semi)
For a whole house, each window is measured separately. A bay needs more sections than a flat opening, while bathrooms may need waterproof ABS. We itemise the choices in a written quote after a free survey.
What changes the price (in order of impact)
- Material (MDF → hardwood is +35–55%)
- Window size (larger panels cost more per cm²)
- Bay shape (splay > square > flat)
- Louvre size (89mm and 114mm cost more than 64mm)
- Hinge specification and frame detailing
- Tier-on-tier vs full-height (tier-on-tier +15%)
- Shape work (arched / circular tops add 25–40%)
What doesn't change the price
Postcode (we charge the same in Knutsford as we do in Warrington), colour choice on standard whites, and number of louvres per panel. Anyone charging extra for "Lymm" or "Knutsford" is taking the mick.
Why the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job
A low number usually means a thinner frame, a visible hinge, a wider gap tolerance, or a fitter who is in and out in twenty minutes. On a window you will look at every day for fifteen years, the difference shows. We measure and fit every job ourselves rather than passing it to a subcontractor, so the person who quoted is the person who is accountable for the finish.
How long it takes
Lead time is confirmed when you order because the material and configuration vary by window.
Measuring before you ask for a price
You can get a rough budget from width, height, number of sections and material. Bay windows are where most mistakes happen, so read our step-by-step guide to measuring a bay window and our bay window angles guide. We always check every measurement on the free home visit before anything is made.
Getting your own number
The only accurate price is one taken from your actual windows. Our home visit is free, takes about forty minutes, and you get a written quote with no pressure to decide on the day. Fitting and VAT are always included, there is no minimum order, and whole-house orders usually attract a small discount.
Common questions on price
- Are shutters more expensive than blinds? Yes, up front. Written quote after a free survey. Shutters usually last far longer, so the cost per year is closer than the headline suggests.
- Is fitting included? Yes, every price is supplied and fitted, VAT included, with no extras added later.
- Do you charge more for outlying towns? No. Knutsford, Lymm and Widnes are priced the same as Warrington.
- How much do plantation shutters cost in the UK? Written quote after a free survey.
- What is the price of shutters for windows in a whole house? Written quote after a free survey.
- Can I do one room at a time? Plenty of customers do, there is no minimum order.
