I'd be a little reluctant to get the non- slated type - especially if we are to experience this type of weather regularly - completely prevents airflow. If you want shutters, I'd go for slatted plus blackout curtains. Saying that, eliminating all light from kids bedrooms is just creating a rod for your own back - try to go on holiday or to family/friend's houses where the conditions vary and you'll end up with tantrums.

It's not too bad actually. We do the blackout thing and on holiday we just buy some foil. A bit of water on the window and the foil sticks for weeks and is applied quickly and removed easily.

Wish I'd known this when my kids were younger!

Hi,

My mum lives in Dorset and she had her shutters installed by a great company, she still feels they have great customer service too.

This is the phone number of the guy who went to see her who is local - 07590541124 - Ashley


He is still working for that company but I can't remember the name of them.


Good luck

    • We used Tom King recently to repair two light switches and have used him in the past for moving a plug socket. He's a lovely guy as well as the utmost professional. Very reliable and helpful, talks you through what's needed with a repair and charges reasonable rates, especially as some electricians charge the earth in this area now. Highly recommended!
    • Does anybody have a wildlife night vision camera in good working order which they no longer use? If you have one, please message me, thanks x
    • Aria and this team replaced 2 showers in my house. He helped me too source all of the correct parts, and then carried out a challenging job of removing the old showers, replacing with new and then retiling the areas. His communications and expertise were brilliant throughout and he charged a very fair fee for carrying out the works. Hes just a very nice, friendly and patient guy to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone needing work done. Thank you again
