Half House Plantation Shutters for Stair Window

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have had some work done to the house and now cannot use my lovely plantation shutters on the stair window of my half house. All the half houses in ED seem to have this similar configuration so should fit. I noticed they made a massive difference to drafts and also look really nice. The shutter size is 154cm high by 49 cm wide as it was made to measure.


I would like ?90 for it as it cost me ?300 new.


Please PM me if you are interested rather than replying to this post.

Hi bewski,


Out of interest what work did you get done to your half house that meant you couldn't use the shutters? My wife and I also live in a half-house (Silvester Road) and are currently planning a rear extension and loft conversion. We are going round in circles a little bit to be honest in terms of how best to maximise space, etc. We would like to convert the loft and put a shower en-suite up there. Have you done this? Are you pleased with the result and the extra space? does it make the second bedroom on the first floor too small? Sorry for all the questions!! thank you so much.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
