Window Shutters Colchester
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, and its homes tell the story: Georgian and Victorian streets in the centre and Lexden, villages of timber-framed cottages, and new estates on the edges. Each deserves its own approach.

Period and listed homes
Original shutter boxes and old sashes are common in central Colchester and Lexden, and solid panel shutters suit them beautifully. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Colchester City Council before changing anything fixed to the building, and ask the installer how the shutters will attach.
Village cottages
In Wivenhoe, Dedham and West Mersea, small deep-set windows often sit in walls that are anything but straight. Each panel is made to the survey measurements, so it closes softly even where the frame is out of square.
Newer homes
Estates in north Colchester and towards Stanway tend to have standard casements and patio doors. Full height panels and tracked shutters keep the look simple and calm.
