The 1901–1914 pattern book — Wilmslow edition
Edwardian villas were built 1901–1914. In Wilmslow they cluster around large detached and Edwardian villa. On survey we look for:
- wider frontage than Victorian, often with a mock-Tudor gable
- generous double bay to both floors on the front elevation
- leaded top-lights over plain sashes
- stained-glass panel to the front door and hallway
Openings we usually shutter on a Edwardian villa
- double-bay ground floor plus matching first floor bay
- casement pairs to the side elevation
- leaded top-light sashes
- small stained-glass reveal to the porch
Tier-on-tier with a mid-rail aligned to the leaded top-light is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.
The starting spec on a Edwardian villa
Style: tier-on-tier with a mid-rail aligned to the leaded top-light.
Material: engineered hardwood — lighter for 4-panel bays without losing rigidity.
Louvres: 89mm louvres suit the wider Edwardian panel; 76mm on any narrower matching first-floor panel.
Typical investment: £3,200–£6,200 for both bays on the front elevation. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Specification evidence
What we check before pricing a SK9 project
Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Wilmslow project sits around £3,000 – £10,000, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
How do you handle the leaded glazing in the porch?
We usually leave the porch and door surround clear — shutters go on the main sashes. If needed a fixed café panel can be added below the leaded light without touching the coloured glass. We've fitted this exact spec on Edwardian villas across Wilmslow (SK9).
Will you match my picture-rail depth?
Yes — Edwardian rooms often have deep picture rails; we recess the frame or add a top cap so the shutter reads as part of the original joinery, not tacked on. We've fitted this exact spec on Edwardian villas across Wilmslow (SK9).
Can you keep my leaded top-light showing?
Yes — a tier-on-tier split aligned to the base of the leaded panel keeps the coloured glass fully visible while the lower tier gives full privacy. We've fitted this exact spec on Edwardian villas across Wilmslow (SK9).
Do you cover Edwardian villas in Wilmslow?
Yes — SK9 are on our regular survey run. Edwardian villas are one of the most common briefs across Wilmslow.
What's the ballpark cost for shutters on a Wilmslow Edwardian villa?
£3,200–£6,200 for both bays on the front elevation for the elements described above. Whole-house Edwardian villa projects sit within the £3,000 – £10,000 band.
