No obligation. No hard sell. Just an honest measure and a written quote.
Faversham is a historic market town with one of the finest medieval street plans in England, and its housing reflects that — Medieval timber-framed properties in the Market Place and the Abbey Street area, Georgian and Victorian townhouses through the town centre, interwar housing in the Preston and Davington areas, and the rural properties in the surrounding villages of Selling, Boughton, and Throwley.
The VIP Shutter Co is based in Rochester and covers Faversham as part of our regular Kent installation schedule. We supply and fit bespoke made-to-measure plantation shutters across Faversham 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 Faversham's Housing Stock
The housing stock across Faversham 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 Faversham Homeowners Choose VIP
Faversham has one of the best-preserved medieval street plans in England, and its housing stock reflects that — timber-framed properties, Georgian townhouses on Abbey Street and Preston Street, and Listed buildings throughout the town centre. These aren’t properties where a standard measure-and-fit approach is adequate.
We’ve worked extensively in Faversham and the surrounding Swale villages. We know how to approach a medieval opening, we’re honest about what will and won’t work in a Listed interior, and we take the time to get the measurement right before anything goes to the factory. Over 100 five-star reviews across Kent, and a base just 20 minutes away.
