Grappenhall New Build: Shutter Specification Guide
New-build reveals are often only 60–75mm — a Z-frame or face-fix extension is standard. That's the recurring pattern across Grappenhall's new-build homes. Under 10 min from our workshop; next-day available survey turnaround across WA4 2/WA4 3.

Architectural cues we survey for on a new-build home
New-build homes were built 2010–present. In Grappenhall they cluster around sandstone village cottage and 1930s box-bay semi. On survey we look for:
- square uPVC casement openings, all to standard sizes
- shallow plaster reveals (60–75mm)
- bi-fold or French doors to the rear garden
- en-suite and utility rooms with small high-level windows
The window list for a Grappenhall new build
- standard uPVC casement pairs on the front
- large picture window to the lounge
- bi-fold doors 3–5 panels wide
- small en-suite obscure-glazed casement
Full-height single-tier panels; tracked panels on bi-folds is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.
New Build specifics we've learned the hard way
Every new-build home we've quoted in Grappenhall has thrown up one of these:
- shallow reveals (60–75mm) often need face-fix or a Z-frame extension
- trickle vents at the head must not be blocked
- bi-folds need a track solution — solid tracked panels, not hinged
- developer glazing is often thicker than expected — handles project further
That's why the survey is done in person — templated, not measured off a plan.

What we check before pricing a WA4 2 project

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Will the trickle vents still work?
Yes — the frame is set below the trickle vent line and louvres open to allow airflow. We specify a lower frame head where necessary so ventilation is unaffected. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Grappenhall (WA4 2).
My reveals are really shallow — will shutters still fit?
Yes — with a Z-frame extension or face-fix mount the shutter sits proud of the reveal without fouling the handle. We survey reveal depth before quoting. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Grappenhall (WA4 2).
Can you shutter my bi-fold doors?
Yes — tracked panels run on a top and bottom rail and stack to one side when the doors open. Panel count matches the door leaf count so nothing catches. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Grappenhall (WA4 2).
Do you cover new-build homes in Grappenhall?
Yes — WA4 2, WA4 3 are on our regular survey run. New-build homes are one of the most common briefs across Grappenhall.
What's the ballpark cost for shutters on a Grappenhall new-build home?
£1,800–£3,200 for a whole-ground-floor package for the elements described above. Whole-house new-build home projects sit within the £1,900 – £4,200 band.
