What actually matters in a kitchen
Every Handforth 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.
What we usually specify
Across Handforth 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.
Who this page is for
Families in mid-refurb kitchens; anyone tired of grease-stained fabric blinds over a hob.
- A galley kitchen with the sink under the only window.
- An open-plan kitchen-diner where the treatment needs to work across both zones.
- A rear kitchen extension with roof-lights and a low window over a peninsula.
In Handforth, that's usually a 1930s semi or a 1980s estate detached.
Small decisions that make the kitchen work
- 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 1930s semi openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Handforth, that means accounting for 1930s semi, 1980s estate detached, modern new build and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
What does a Handforth kitchen shutter project usually cost?
£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Handforth projects sit inside the £2,000 – £5,500 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
Which shutters suit a 1930s semi 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 Handforth?
Yes — SK9 3 are on our regular survey run. 28 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Handforth.
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 Handforth, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1980s estate detached we survey most weeks.
What about the window over the sink?
Café-style keeps sink splash off, or a full-height that opens both sides for reaching through to clean. In Handforth, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1980s estate detached we survey most weeks.
