Sorry if this isn?t the right section to post.


I?ve just had plantation shutters installed and I knew (as did the company when they measured) that the windows aren?t straight. But apparently neither are many windows in period properties ! Sadly the company made no effort to compensate for this and so the shutters don?t look right, and accentuate the unevenness in the windows. It?s quite upsetting as I got several quotes, and obviously shutters themselves are expensive.


Does anyone by any chance have any advice, or recommendations of any specialists I could speak to? Keen to see what the options are for improving the look.


Thanks very much in advance.

I've actually just installed 4 of them myself in a victorian bay (I'm a pro diyer), it's tricky and you need to take your time getting them straight, square and packing them out on an uneven wall.


I would refuse to pay until fitted correctly, after all if you're fitting these things every day you should get pretty good at it.

      Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.

      My dog has to be medicated to cope with  bonfire night. She’s a rescue so I don’t know what traumatic abuse she experienced. I love the fact that you, Dave CPR, are so unaware of how another can be affected by something that does not personally affect yourself. Blissful ignorance. Lack of Empathy. Cold hearted.

      Not fair on the patients or the consultants, either.  My brother's an ED consultant and he is on his knees - they all have the flu but have to work through it, because it's so busy at this time of year. Adding the strike to this just makes everything feel even more impossible and he's pretty low right now.
