Deal is a historic Cinque Port town on the East Kent coast, and its housing reflects that — Georgian terraces in the old town around Middle Street and Beach Street, Victorian properties through the town centre and towards Walmer, interwar housing on the Hamilton Road corridor, and the rural properties in the surrounding villages of Kingsdown, Ringwould, and Ripple.
The VIP Shutter Co is based in Rochester and covers Deal as part of our regular Kent installation schedule. We supply and fit bespoke made-to-measure plantation shutters across Deal 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 Deal's Housing Stock
The housing stock across Deal 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 Deal Homeowners Choose VIP
Deal’s Georgian old town — Middle Street, Beach Street, and the streets behind the castle — is one of the most architecturally coherent town centres in Kent. Properties here have period proportions that deserve care, and we approach every survey in Deal’s old town with that in mind: the right louvre size for the window scale, the right material for the coastal setting, the right style for the interior character.
We’re further from Deal than some of our North Kent work, but we cover it regularly and apply exactly the same standards. Five-year warranty, our own fitters, and over 100 five-star reviews from across the county.
