Ramsgate is Thanet’s largest town and the only Royal Harbour in the UK, and its housing reflects that — Georgian and Regency terraces in the Royal Harbour area and the East Cliff, Victorian villas along Augusta Road and the West Cliff, Edwardian and interwar housing through Newington and Dumpton, and the more contemporary development towards Pegwell Bay.
The VIP Shutter Co is based in Rochester and covers Ramsgate as part of our regular Kent installation schedule. We supply and fit bespoke made-to-measure plantation shutters across Ramsgate and the surrounding area. Every shutter is measured in your home, manufactured to those exact dimensions, and fitted by our own team.
Shutters That Suit Ramsgate's Housing Stock
The housing stock across Ramsgate varies significantly between the older parts of town and the newer developments, and the right shutter for each property type differs accordingly.
Period properties — Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and any pre-war housing — benefit most from full height or tier on tier shutters in hardwood or engineered MDF, with louvre sizes scaled to the window proportions. Tier on tier shutters are the right choice for ground-floor rooms on busy residential streets where privacy at street level is the primary concern.
Newer builds and modern estates typically suit full height shutters in engineered MDF or waterproof ABS — dimensionally stable, low maintenance, and available in any paint finish. Where bifold or sliding door openings exist, tracked shutters provide coverage that conventional hinged panels cannot.
Period rural properties and any building in a coastal or riverside setting benefit from waterproof ABS or hardwood with a robust paint system.
Materials and Finish Options
Sustainably sourced hardwood — Natural grain, warm finish. The right choice for period properties. Full paint, stain, and RAL colour range.
Engineered MDF — Stable and practical for most residential properties. Same finish range as hardwood.
Waterproof ABS — Fully moisture resistant. Essential for bathrooms, coastal properties, and riverside settings.
Louvre sizes: 47mm, 63mm, 76mm, 89mm. Tilt: central rod or hidden.
Why Ramsgate Homeowners Choose VIP
Ramsgate’s Royal Harbour area has some of the finest Georgian and Regency housing in Thanet, and those properties deserve better than a quick-measure-and-ship approach. The East and West Cliff properties have sash windows and proportions that require careful measurement and appropriate louvre sizing to look right — and we’ve done enough of them to know how to get it right first time.
We cover Ramsgate as a regular part of our East Kent schedule, not as a one-off trip. Our 5-year warranty, our own fitting team, and over 100 five-star reviews across Kent give Ramsgate customers the same confidence as our Medway customers — just a bit further along the A2.
