FAQs about window shutter fitting

What tradesperson do I need to fit shutters for windows?

What are the typical shutter fitting mistakes to avoid?

Common shutter fitting mistakes include:

• Incorrect measurements

• Uneven alignment

• Drilling in the wrong place

Hire an experienced fitter and you'll avoid these common pitfalls.

How do shutter fitters measure windows?

Made-to-measure shutter fitters take into account width, height, depth, and any unusual shapes (bay, arched, or angled windows) to make sure shutters fit perfectly and operate smoothly.

How long does professional shutter installation take?

Most shutter fittings take one to three hours per window, depending on complexity. Your fitter will usually measure up first, then return for installation once your shutters have been made.

What are typical shutter fitting lead times in the UK?

The average lead time for UK window shutters is eight to 16 weeks from the point of initial measurement to final installation. However, exact timings will vary depending on shutter style and whether they are made-to-measure.

Can I install window shutters myself?

That's why many homeowners choose an experienced fitter for a perfect, safe installation.
