What actually matters in a kitchen
Every Croft kitchen project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:
- Grease and steam near the hob
- Clearance around a monobloc tap
- Operation when the sink is full
- Reveal depth on butler-window openings
ABS over the sink and hob (grease-tolerant, wipe-clean). Painted hardwood elsewhere for warmth against timber worktops.
The short list for a Croft kitchen
Across Croft kitchens we mostly fit:
- Café-style full window
- Full-height with wide louvres
- Waterproof ABS over sink
Café-style leaves the top of the window clear for pendant lighting and cooker-hood clearance.
89mm or 114mm louvres suit larger kitchen openings visually.
Kitchen design notes
- Café-style leaves the top of the window clear for pendant lighting and cooker-hood clearance.
- 89mm or 114mm louvres suit larger kitchen openings visually.
- Reveal-fit sits behind the tap; face-fit is only viable if the tap has 40mm+ clearance.

Specification evidence
What we check before pricing a WA3 7 project
Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Croft project sits around £2,000 – £4,800, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
What does a Croft kitchen shutter project usually cost?
£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Croft projects sit inside the £2,000 – £4,800 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
Which shutters suit a village cottage kitchen?
Café-style full window is the usual default. Café-style leaves the top of the window clear for pendant lighting and cooker-hood clearance.
Do you fit kitchen shutters in Croft?
Yes — WA3 7 are on our regular survey run. 15 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Croft.
Will the shutter clog with cooking grease?
ABS louvres wipe clean with a soapy microfibre. Painted hardwood is fine outside the direct hob splash zone — the same paint spec used on kitchen cabinetry. In Croft, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.
Can I fit shutters behind a tall monobloc tap?
Yes — reveal-fit puts the shutter inside the recess, behind the tap. We measure the tap swing on survey day. In Croft, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.
