Shutters advice (cost of cafe style for bay)

[AandM]

Hya,

Just had a quote for ?1700 for cafe style white wooden shutters for our bay window in the lounge.

Make in the UK (which I like idea of).

Seems pretty steep but we do need to get it sorted soon (we have nothing at window & they can fit end Feb).

So any advice from fellow shutter-ers who can say, 'no go here for half the price' warmly welcomed!!!!

Thank you!

(Dims are 110cm (h) x 106cm (w) in the middle, and 2 sides are 110cmx70cm

We went to a place in Bromley and didn't pay anything near that (but admittedly they were made in China..)

A friend of mine just ordered from B&Q - they work with the following company for shutters:

Surprisingly smart looking result, and most likely at the other end of the spectrum price wise!

Might be worth looking at simply as a comparison.

Hi, I used Andrew (local) a couple of years ago and he was v good, local, friendly & reasonable. Try him on +07730747900. He also did 2 neighbours and their shutters look great.

HI - we're on the same mission. Shutters up have a sale - so they're a bit under the other companies I've looked at.

I just wanted to hear from anyone about the quality and experience of the shutters from them?

Hello,

I am the owner of London Interior Shutters and live in Dulwich. Just seen this as browsing EDF and think I maybe of some help. For the dimensions you have provided that is a rather excessive price even for UK finished shutters.

The shutters we provide are manufactured in China and are the best quality. As a bench mark you should be expecting to pay at least half of that initial quote if you use a company that sources in China.

Most China sourced shutters meet strict standards of material/wood sourcing and ECO standards to allow us to import them.

If you would like any guidance in your search I'll happily help.
