What we usually specify for a Hatton holiday lets project

Across Hatton 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.

Why us for this brief

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.

The budget conversation — up-front, not on the doorstep

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 Hatton projects in this bracket usually sit within the £2,500 – £6,500 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".

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.

Hatton survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 10 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J10 — 5 min corridor.
