What we usually specify for a Grappenhall holiday lets project

Across Grappenhall 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.

Typical Grappenhall spend

Typical spend £1,800–£3,800 for a two-bed cottage full-house shutter fit. Most owners report the uplift on nightly rate covers the outlay inside a year.

Whole-house Grappenhall projects in this bracket usually sit within the £1,900 – £4,200 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".

What actually matters — in the order it matters

Every holiday lets survey we run in Grappenhall 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

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.
