The 1714–1830 pattern book — Sale edition
Georgian townhouses were built 1714–1830. In Sale they cluster around Victorian terrace and 1920s semi. On survey we look for:
- tall proportion 6-over-6 sash windows
- symmetrical front elevation with a raised ground floor
- shallow reveals with wide painted architrave
- flat brick façade, often stucco to the ground floor
Openings we usually shutter on a Georgian townhouse
- tall 6-over-6 sliding sash (up to 2.4m)
- narrower sashes to the top floor
- shallow-arched fanlight over the front door
- sub-basement or half-basement sash to the front
Tier-on-tier with mid-rail aligned to the sash meeting rail is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.
The starting spec on a Georgian townhouse
Style: tier-on-tier with mid-rail aligned to the sash meeting rail.
Material: solid hardwood — the only material that stays flat on tall panels.
Louvres: 89mm louvres to keep the panel visually calm on a tall sash; mid-rail aligned to the meeting rail.
Typical investment: £3,800–£7,500 per full sash pair on the front elevation. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
How do you handle the deep architrave?
Frame is scribed to the architrave, not fitted flush to the reveal. That way the shutter reads as period joinery, not a modern addition. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Sale (M33).
Can shutters go on a 2.2m Georgian sash?
Yes — with tier-on-tier construction, a mid-rail at the meeting-rail line and triple hinges per leaf. Solid hardwood is essential at that height to stop the panel bowing. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Sale (M33).
Will conservation-area rules allow shutters?
Internal plantation shutters are almost always permitted in conservation areas — they're not visible externally in the same way as replacement glazing. We can share sample photos on request. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Sale (M33).
What's the ballpark cost for shutters on a Sale Georgian townhouse?
£3,800–£7,500 per full sash pair on the front elevation for the elements described above. Whole-house Georgian townhouse projects sit within the £1,800 – £5,000 band.
