The kitchen spec, ordered by what matters
Every Preston Brook 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 Preston Brook 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.
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.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
What does a Preston Brook kitchen shutter project usually cost?
£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Preston Brook projects sit inside the £1,800 – £4,200 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
Which shutters suit a 1990s estate detached 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 Preston Brook?
Yes — WA7 3 are on our regular survey run. 12 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Preston Brook.
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 Preston Brook, that's the answer for the 1990s estate detacheds and canal-side townhouse we survey most weeks.
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 Preston Brook, that's the answer for the 1990s estate detacheds and canal-side townhouse we survey most weeks.
