Common Questions
Frequently asked
Will café-style shutters suit a Old Town terrace?
Yes — Old Town terraces in Runcorn are one of the openings we specify for most often. Half-height panels covering only the bottom of the window — light in, privacy at street level.
What if my windows are a bit awkward?
Awkward is the norm here — Old Town terrace, 1970s estate semi, Sandymoor new build, canal-side townhouse. We template on site and the workshop builds to the template, not to a stock size.
Do you actually cover Runcorn?
Yes — WA7 are on our regular survey run. 15 min from Stockton Heath; the practical route is M56 J12 — 3 min.
Who actually fits the shutters?
Jonathan or Tony — the same people who surveyed you. We don't subcontract Runcorn jobs.
How long does the fit day take?
Most Runcorn jobs are a single day for the install. Larger whole-house shutters projects occasionally run over two consecutive days.
