The default spec — before we've even seen the house

Across Broadheath holiday lets projects, the short list is short on purpose:

  • Full-height plantation shutters in Pure White — the single most photographed product we fit
  • Café-style shutters for street-facing cottages that need light plus privacy
  • Waterproof ABS shutters for bathrooms with baths under the window
  • Motorised blinds on any high or unreachable opening a housekeeper shouldn't stand on a chair to close

The final pick depends on the room, the light and the openings — decided on the survey, not by a call-centre.

Where we've earned this pitch

Shuttered rooms are one of the top-photographed features on premium UK holiday-let listings — we've fitted enough of them to know which panel split reads best in a wide-angle listing shot.

On short-stay listings, full-height white shutters are among the most-photographed interior features — they read as "boutique" in a listing thumbnail in a way blinds rarely do.

What actually matters — in the order it matters

Every holiday lets survey we run in Broadheath lands on the same short list:

  1. Photographs beautifully — matt finish, clean lines, no visible mechanism
  2. Guest-proof — no cords, no fabric a child can pull down, no tenant guessing
  3. Quick to reset between stays — housekeeper can dust in seconds
  4. Privacy without dark rooms — key for period stone cottages and canalside conversions
  5. Consistent look across every room so photos hang together

How the survey and fit differ for this brief

We survey around your booking calendar — the fit day is scheduled inside a changeover, not across one. Every room is photographed after fitting so you can drop the images straight into your Airbnb, VRBO or SykesCottages listing.

Broadheath survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 20 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J7 — 3 min corridor.

Practical local access
