Window Seats and Shutters across Cornwall
Most Window Seats and Shutters enquiries we take in Cornwall start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local stock is dominated by granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. The other factor is the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, which is why accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines is the most common reason people call us. The value is in shutters that fold back into the reveal without fouling the frame, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
One thing that catches people out here: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cornwall?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cornwall including Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell and the surrounding villages. Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain. Because the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
