Do you offer free surveys?
Yes. Every project begins with a free, no-obligation home survey. We’ll visit your property in Shropshire, Herefordshire, or Worcestershire, measure precisely, and guide you through styles and finishes.
What areas do you cover?
We serve homeowners across Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire, offering local expertise and professional installation in towns, villages, and rural areas.
How long does installation take?
Lead times depend on the product:
- Hardwood shutters: 6–10 weeks
- PVC shutters: 2–3 weeks
- Blinds: typically 2–3 weeks
- Awnings: timing depends on custom features (lighting, heating, motorisation).
We’ll always provide a clear timeline at your survey.
Are shutters suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes. Our PVC shutters are moisture-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms, wet rooms, and kitchens. For living rooms and bedrooms, we recommend hardwood for a premium finish.
Do you offer motorised options?
Yes. Both blinds and awnings can be fitted with motorised controls, allowing easy operation at the touch of a button.
How do I clean shutters and blinds?
Shutters and blinds are low-maintenance. We recommend dusting with a soft cloth or vacuuming with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. We are fully insured and DBS checked, so you can feel confident about who’s working in your home.
Why should I choose Shires Shutters over national chains?
Unlike large companies, you’ll always deal with the same person from start to finish. That means clear communication, honest advice, and a personal service tailored to your home.
