At Mitchell & Dickinson, we understand that every detail matters when it comes to preserving and enhancing your period or listed home.
That’s why we’ve crafted a stunning collection of shutter solutions, combining heritage aesthetics with sustainable living and modern comfort. Whether you’re looking for beautifully made new shutters or wish to restore original features, our three bespoke offerings are designed with sensitivity, skill and the finest craftsmanship.
Plantation shutters
Our British-made plantation shutters are timelessly elegant and deliver practical benefits like light control and improved insulation. Hand-installed by our experienced craftsmen, they’re custom-built to suit the character of your home – from bay windows to intricate period shapes.
Choose from styles including:
Full height – for maximum privacy and impact
Tier-on-tier – allowing separate control of top and bottom panels
Cafe-style – for lower window coverage and charming aesthetics
Each shutter set is available in a range of custom paint and stain finishes and with a range of tilt systems for easy adjustment of louvres. Not only do they add beauty and function, but they also offer an additional barrier against heat loss, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Insulated shutters
For those seeking style and energy performance, our insulated wooden shutters are a natural choice. Handmade in our workshops and installed by our skilled team, these custom shutters are built to complement your home’s historic joinery and proportions.
• Designed to replicate original architectural mouldings
• Customised to match the decor and finish of your interior
• Enhanced with discreet insulation for all-season thermal comfort
• Fitted with hardware in keeping with period character
Combining beauty with functionality, these shutters reduce noise, retain warmth, and help lower your energy consumption, all while enhancing the charm of your interiors.
Shutter restoration
Original shutters are more than window coverings, they’re part of your home’s history. Where possible, we recommend restoring these valuable features to retain the authenticity of your period property.
Our skilled restoration process includes:
- Careful assessment and sensitive repairs using reclaimed timber where needed
- Eco-friendly stripping, sanding and refinishing
- Reinstallation with restored locking systems and original features intact
Restoring existing shutters is a sustainable alternative to replacement. It preserves heritage wood, avoids unnecessary waste and aligns with conservation regulations for listed properties. It also adds insulation, improves efficiency and enhances the overall value of your home.
Environmental benefits include:
- Reduced energy use and emissions
- Preservation of original materials and craftsmanship
- Enhanced thermal performance year-round
