Made-to-Measure Plantation Shutters in Hadleigh
Hadleigh's High Street is lined with beautiful timber-framed and listed buildings, and we take particular care here to fit shutters that respect original window mouldings.
Recent Shutter Installations in Hadleigh
Recent Hadleigh installations include solid-panel shutters in a listed timber-frame property on the High Street, café-style shutters in a 17th-century cottage on Benton Street, and full-height shutters in a newer detached property on Lady Lane. We took particular care with the High Street install, measuring carefully around original oak window frames that had bowed slightly after centuries in place.
Shutters for Hadleigh Property Styles
Hadleigh is one of the most architecturally distinctive towns in our coverage area, with a High Street of largely unaltered timber-frame buildings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. These properties typically have smaller, irregular window openings in oak frames where careful measurement is essential and off-the-shelf products simply won't fit. The town also has Victorian and Edwardian housing stock around Bridge Street and Queen Street, and a growing number of newer properties on the Hadleigh edges where standard shutters work very well.
Where a property is listed or in a conservation area, we always recommend checking with the local planning authority before external changes, but internal plantation shutters are almost always straightforward as they don't alter the building's exterior appearance.
Shutter Styles Available in Hadleigh
Our full range of shutter styles can be matched with the material and louvre size that best suits your room. We'll help you choose the right combination at your free survey.
Full Height
Covers the entire window from top to bottom. The most popular choice for modern homes and any window where you want full light control.
Café Style
Covers only the lower half of the window, giving street-level privacy while leaving the top clear for natural light and sky views.
Tier on Tier
Two independent panels stacked vertically — ideal for tall sash windows where you want separate control of top and bottom.
Bay Window
Custom-angled panels built to follow the exact geometry of your bay, giving a seamless symmetrical result.
Solid Panel
Fixed slats rather than adjustable louvres. Maximum privacy and a clean, architectural look — popular for street-facing ground-floor rooms.
Tracked
Panels that slide on a floor-to-ceiling track. The practical solution for patio doors, bi-folds, or very wide openings.

How the Survey and Installation Work
We measure carefully around period features on every Hadleigh visit, since older frames are rarely perfectly square. Survey appointments are usually available within one to two weeks.
Free Home Survey
We visit at a time that suits you, measure every window precisely, discuss your style preferences, and show you a full set of finish and louvre-size samples in your own light.
Made to Your Exact Measurements
Every frame is manufactured to the dimensions we recorded, not to a standard size. This is how we handle non-square reveals, bay windows, and awkward openings that off-the-shelf products can't accommodate.
Expert Installation
Our own fitters — not subcontractors — carry out every installation. A typical home takes half a day. We leave everything clean and tidy, and show you how to use and care for your shutters before we go.
10-Year Guarantee
Every installation is covered by our comprehensive 10-year guarantee on manufacturing and finish. If anything isn't right, we'll put it right at no cost to you.

What a Hadleigh Customer Says
"I have a Grade II listed timber-frame cottage in Hadleigh and was concerned that shutters might not be possible. The surveyor spent time measuring each window individually and explained exactly how the frames would be built to fit around the original oak surrounds. The finished result is beautiful and completely sympathetic to the building."
