Plantation shutters in Crewe: cost, bay windows and lead time

Crewe is one of our busiest areas and most of its homes have a bay at the front. Here is how we price shutters for Crewe windows, which material suits which room, how a bay is handled and how long it takes from survey to fitting.

Café-style plantation shutters across a three-sided bay window

Plantation shutters for a Crewe home are priced per window on a free survey, fitting included, and arrive 8 to 10 weeks after you order because every panel is made to the window. The price depends on the material, the style and the size and shape of the window, which in Crewe usually means a bay: the town’s terraces and semis in Wistaston, Haslington, Shavington and Leighton almost all have one at the front, and a three-faced bay is priced as three windows joined at the angles.

What shutters cost in Crewe

We do not publish a square-metre price, because a bay and a flat window of the same area do not cost the same to make. As a guide to the market, UK home-improvement sources in 2026 quote roughly £180 to £300 per square metre for PVC shutters and £300 to £500 per square metre for hardwood, often before fitting. Our quote is a fixed per-window figure with fitting included, written on the survey and held for 30 days. The table shows what moves it.

Bay windows in Crewe’s terraces and semis

Each face of a bay gets its own frame and panels, joined at the angles with matching frames so the run reads as one piece. Tier-on-tier is the most popular choice on a Crewe street-facing bay: the bottom panels stay closed for privacy from the pavement while the top panels open for light. Café style, which covers the lower half only, costs less and suits bays where the street is close but the room needs every bit of daylight. Full height is the cleanest look and the one most people picture.

PVC or hardwood for a Crewe home

  • Madison hardwood: 26 colours plus custom colour matching, the richest finish and the best insulation. The usual choice for living rooms, bedrooms and front bays.
  • Nevada and Hampton PVC: waterproof, will not warp or peel in steam, 10-year manufacturer warranty. The right choice for bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms.
  • Mixing them is normal: Madison on the front bay, Nevada in the bathroom, and the three-for-£99 vertical or three-for-£119 roller offer in the bedrooms.

How a Crewe shutter visit works

  • We cover the CW1 and CW2 postcodes and the villages around Crewe from our Hanley showroom, about 30 minutes away, with no travel charge. Nantwich, Alsager and Sandbach are on the same run.
  • The survey takes about an hour. We measure every face of the bay, check the recess is square, show you the material and louvre samples against your walls, and leave a fixed written quote.
  • A deposit is paid on order; for shutters it may be larger than the standard 50% and is stated on the quote.
  • Allow 8 to 10 weeks for manufacture. Our own fitters install the shutters, usually in a morning for a bay, and the fitting is included in the price.

Roller shutters and security shutters

If you searched for roller, rolling, industrial or security shutters in Crewe, we are not the right company: we make and fit interior plantation shutters and window blinds only. A commercial security shutter installer will serve you better, and we are happy to say so rather than waste your time.
