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

    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
