We are delighted with our shutters and very impressed with the service we received from The Great Shutter Company from start to finish. This is the first time we have had shutters, so we found the initial visit and discussions around the various options invaluable. Communication around appointments and fittings was excellent and the fitter did an outstanding job. The final product has surpassed our expectations and finishes off our newly refurbished house beautifully. We would highly recommend! Tamsin & Andrew

We offer a free, no obligation home design consultation. It’s a friendly, local service aimed at giving you good advice.

No pressure (read our reviews) and if you decide not to go ahead or find another company that you prefer then, although we will be disappointed, please just drop us a line and we will cancel down your quote.

We hope though that you will be delighted with our service and our price.

One Visit

Unlike many others we take production measurements during your home design consultation. No salespeople – just good, honest, advice.

We bring the showroom to you

Our consultants will bring product samples as well as fabric samples so that you feel and see the quality of the awning cassette and fabric.

Made to Measure

Our awnings are manufactured to our exacting specifications.

Brackets

You may require specialist brackets if your property is only a single storey tall to spread the weight of the awning. Specialist brackets may also bee needed to account for guttering or down pipes. We will advise during the consultation.

Fitting

All our fitters are trained and employed by the company. We don’t use sub-contractors.

Pre-Quote

We can provide a pretty accurate quote if you send us an image of where you would like the awning placed. Let us know the width and how far you would like the awning to project and we will send you an initial price. Email: [email protected]

Balcony Awning Portsmouth

Our client was based on the 3rd floor of this apartment building. We supplied a balcony awning with specialist brackets to the spread the weight of the awning. This was necessary as the wall would not have been structurally sound enough to support the weight of the awning.

Couple Awning Poole

Our client needed two large awnings for their new home. We liaised with the architect and builder and created a false front for the awnings so that when they retracted they fitted into a bespoke recess. This meant when the awnings were retracted they were not visible at all.

Awnings With Bespoke Brackets

Our client’s home had a single storey extension with a parapet wall. This meant there was not enough weight above the awning to support the standard awning fixings. By adding spreader plates we were able to spread the weight of the awning and ensure stability.

 

Motorised Awning Southampton

This simple, but elegant awning, helped keep the solar gain out of the lounge whilst also providing an area to sit under in both rain and sun. Our awnings can project up to 4m. Please note to project 4m the awning needs to be a minimum 4.5m wide.

Testimonial

★★★★★

“We love our new awning. It looks great and our kitchen is sooo much cooler. Happy me, happy baby, happy dog!” 

Reviewed by Mrs Rankine, Winchester.

 

“Finally bit the bullet on an awning. Mike came and surveyed and we opted for a UK made awning as we wanted a quick turn around. 3 weeks later the awning was up. What a difference.”

Reviewed by Mrs Carruthers, Southampton.

 

“Mike from the Great Shutter Co came and measured and quoted for our awnings. He gave us some different choices and also advised on what brackets were needed.  We opted for the Markilux awning. Fitting was pain free and service was seemless.” 

Reviewed by Jane, Basingstoke.

Motorised Blinds

In some cases if you are looking to provide internal shading then motorised blinds may be the better option. We have specific fabric that are designed to reduce solar gain and glare. Why not find out more. We will bring samples of the product to your free, no obligation home visit.

Areas Covered

We provide a local awning supply and fit service in Winchester, Alton, Southampton, Basingstoke, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and surrounding areas.
