No obligation. No hard sell. Just an honest measure and a written quote.
Sittingbourne sits on the A2 corridor midway between Rochester and Canterbury, and its housing reflects that — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre, 1930s and postwar semis through Milton Regis and Murston, newer development on the Swale Business Park fringes, and period properties in the surrounding villages of Borden, Tunstall, and Minster.
The VIP Shutter Co is based in Rochester and covers Sittingbourne as part of our regular Kent installation schedule. We supply and fit bespoke made-to-measure plantation shutters across Sittingbourne 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 Sittingbourne's Housing Stock
The housing stock across Sittingbourne 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.
