Plantation Shutters for a Sussex farmhouse

We take pride in the projects we undertake and therefore are delighted to share with you another one of our recently completed jobs. This property, a country house, is situated in the village of Blackboys, East Sussex. It has recently been renovated but has managed to retain all the original Edwardian features which have being painstakingly refurbished.

The home owners were interested in plantation shutters because they wanted a window furnishing to retain the heat during the cold winter nights, but with the stipulation that the shutters should match the original Edwardian decor.

The solution was our phoenix wood solid shaker style shutter that matched and complimented the decor perfectly. As a natural timber reminiscent of an English Oak it is perfect for this farmhouse bathroom, painted white the beautiful grainy texture of the timber is still visible.

Window shutters are a perfect solution for period properties as you are able to order from an extensive range of timber and over 3000 paint finishes that allows you to tailor your window dressings to exactly match your decor.

Lifestyle Shutters 1st Trading Standards Compliant Interior Shutter Company

Choosing the right Shutter Company to install shutters in your home can be an extremely difficult decision to make with many of the companies seemingly offering the same service or product.

At Lifestyle Shutters we understand that our customers will want evidence of quality through industry accreditation so they feel confident using our services. In our continued efforts to prove our quality of our services and products, we have sought every accreditation that is available to us.

A scheme that we are extremely delighted to be signed with is the Trading Standards Buy with confidence scheme. The Trading Standards scheme is run in partnership with local authorities such as East Sussex and Kent County Council. The scheme was introduced in response to tackle rogue traders and inform customers of professional companies that have a proven track record of quality and secured guarantees.

Lifestyle Shutters is the first and only shutter company with the Trading Standards buy with confidence accreditation.      

How does the scheme work?

The Buy with confidence scheme puts customers in contact with approved traders who have proven to apply to the highest standards of customer service.

How does a trader join the scheme? 

Membership of the scheme is not given likely as applicants have to pass a series of stringent checks. This involves each applicant having their complaint history reviewed and being visited by a Trading Standards officer. Additional requirements are references from previous customers and criminal records Bureau clearance.

The scheme covers three key topics 

• Ensure staff are properly trained for work
• Respond to any customer enquiries/complaints promptly
• Criminal Records Bureau clearance for all staff that carry out work in peoples home

What this means to you?

The approval process was both thorough and extensive and took a significant amount of time and work to go through, very few companies are unwilling to go through the process and that is why to date we are the only trading compliant Shutter Company throughout London and Sussex, Kent and the rest of the South East.

This means that when you and other customers research diligently the right Shutter Company for your property you will be satisfied that at Lifestyle Shutters we consistently work to the highest levels of quality as required by Local Authorities and Trade Standards officers.

If you have any further enquiries about the Buy with confidence scheme run by Trading Standards then please leave a comment. Or alternatively contact us directly where we will be more than happy to explain our accreditations and quality shutter range.

At Lifestyle Shutters we have witnessed this trend and with the relationships we have built up with our customers fully understand the reasons why people are turning to plantation shutters from dated net curtains.

For many of our clients having increased privacy is essential for them, especially if they have other properties over looking their home. Plantation shutters are an obvious solution to this problem, but furthermore they can offer greater security.
