Roof Light Shutters

Yes, we truly are! Ideal Shutters is a proud family-run business, built on strong family values. I (Nick) lead the team, with my sister Louise keeping things organised and my wife Megan managing the finances. Nick, Dan, and Adam are experienced carpenters who’ve worked together for over a decade—Dan and Adam are like "brothers from another mother." This close-knit team lets us offer a personal, trustworthy service with top-quality shutters.

Yes, all our shutters come with a full guarantee for your peace of mind. The length of the guarantee varies from 3-10 years depending on the shutter range you choose, but we always stand by the quality of our products and workmanship.

We know you have plenty of options, but here’s what makes us different: honest pricing from the start—no inflated quotes, no pushy sales tactics. Unlike many others, we only work with industry-leading manufacturers, ensuring top-quality shutters. Plus, as skilled carpenters first and foremost, we take pride in every installation, delivering a perfect fit with precision and care. With 200+ five-star reviews, our customers’ feedback speaks for itself!

Our Instant Estimate tool gives a great ballpark figure based on your measurements. The final price after a home visit may be slightly higher or lower, as many factors affect the cost. For a fixed quote, a home visit is essential—but if you’re unsure about pricing, the online estimate is a great place to start!

Our shutters are custom-made to fit your windows to perfection. Depending on the material, lead times vary from 3-4 weeks to 10-14 weeks. We always give every customer regular updates throughout the process and even offer free temporary blinds whilst your shutters are being made.

Arranging to see our samples is simple! Just get in touch by phone or click here to book. We’ll bring a selection of large shutter samples in various styles, colours, and finishes to your home, helping you visualise how they’ll look and allowing you to feel the quality for yourself. Our home visits take on average of around 60 minutes, with no pressure and no obligation to buy. We’ll also provide a clear, no-hassle quote, so you can make your decision at your own pace.

This is one of the most common questions we get! Many assume shutters make a room darker, but the truth is, designed correctly they can actually make it feel brighter and more open.

Here’s how to maximise light with shutters:

• Match panels to window sections so only louvres cover the glass.
• Opt for a bright white finish to ensure light reflects off the louvres and bounces around the room.

With the right design, shutters enhance natural light, creating a bright and airy space.

Shutters aren’t fully blackout, but they do an excellent job at blocking most light. For near blackout results, we offer integrated blackout blinds, which are built into the shutter frame and sit behind the shutter panel. They’re discreet and ideal for bedrooms or media rooms where extra darkness is needed.
