Shutters in Colchester

A local shutter company you can trust

At ShuttersUp, we make shutters for people, not just for windows. We’ve spent many years honing our skills and learning our craft – we’ve learnt all about shutters, so you don’t have to. Whether you own a business in Colchester, or you’re one of almost 200,000 people who live in the area, we can provide you with a tailored, bespoke service and beautiful, timeless shutters.

Colchester is a historic market town, with roots dating back to Roman times. In fact, it is Britain’s oldest recorded town, and Colchester’s Roman wall is the oldest and longest surviving of its kind. While Roman properties haven’t quite made it through to the modern times, many historic and period properties remain, such as the sought-after Victorian homes on Oxford Road, Lexden. We can make shutters for all types of properties, of any age, from any period of history. Equally, we can make shutters to perfectly suit new builds, like the houses and flats on Echelon Walk and Butt Road. Wherever you live, we can make shutters for you.

Bespoke shutters for homeowners in Colchester

We started out in 2006, so we bring many years of knowledge with us. When you’re a customer of ours, your experience is very important – we use our knowledge to make sure we can meet your needs in full. Plus, our team members are friendly, helpful and very good listeners, making sure you get the most out of your new shutters.

The first step is to arrange an initial consultation so we can talk to you about what you need. During this consultation, we listen closely to you and will discuss:

Your personal tastes and preferences
Aesthetics you like
Existing home décor you’d like your shutters to match
Functionality you need from your shutters

We take the time to fully understand what you’re looking for. If you’re not quite sure yet, that’s not a problem – our job is to make sure you understand all your options, and to provide the information you need to make your decision about whether shutters will be right for you.

Once we’ve worked out what you’re looking for, it’s time to talk about your options. We’ll discuss the shutter styles that are available, as well as the materials and finishes you can select.

When you choose us, we make a commitment to you as our customer. Here’s our customer promise:

No salespeople – your consultation will be with a fully trained product expert.
No sales tactics – instead, we give you honest, tailored advice.
No pressure selling – take your time. There’s no pressure to go ahead.

Choosing your beautiful bespoke shutters

More and more people are choosing shutters instead of curtains, blinds and other window dressings. This is partly due to the range of aesthetic options available, and partly due to the practical benefits. If you’re interested in having shutters, these are the options available:

Café shutters – covering just the bottom section of windows, café shutters balance privacy and natural light
Full height shutters – gain more privacy, with the added option of a mid rail as well
Tier on tier shutters – twin panels which operate independently for more flexibility
Solid shutters – perfect for providing darkness and privacy, these shutters work well on bedrooms windows, or on doors
Special shape shutters – bespoke designs for unique window shapes
Track system shutters – long runs of shutters for larger windows and doors
Security shutters – aluminium shutters to improve security and enhance aesthetics

Shutters also offer many practical benefits, including:

Additional window insulation
Shade
Privacy
Controlled airflow and ventilation
Enhanced security

Shutters can be customised in terms of their appearance and the benefits they offer you. We’ll discuss your needs and aesthetic preferences in full, and will measure up to ensure the perfect fit.
