Why a kitchen shutter is a different job
Every Farnworth 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.
Our default kitchen specification
Across Farnworth 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.
Details that matter
- 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.

Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by village cottage openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Farnworth, that means accounting for village cottage, 1950s semi, modern infill and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Do you fit kitchen shutters in Farnworth?
Yes — WA8 9 are on our regular survey run. 22 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Farnworth.
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.
What does a Farnworth kitchen shutter project usually cost?
£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Farnworth projects sit inside the £1,500 – £3,400 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
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 Farnworth, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1950s semi 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 Farnworth, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1950s semi we survey most weeks.
