The 1714–1830 pattern book — Wilmslow edition
Georgian townhouses were built 1714–1830. In Wilmslow they cluster around large detached and Edwardian villa. 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
The window list for a Wilmslow 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.

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
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 Wilmslow (SK9).
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 Wilmslow (SK9).
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 Wilmslow (SK9).
What's the ballpark cost for shutters on a Wilmslow 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 £3,000 – £10,000 band.
