Bespoke Shutters in Beckton

The East London suburb we now know as Beckton was once sparse, unpopulated marshland beside the River Thames. However, the area was increasingly developed in the 19th century — with Beckton Gas Works and Beckton Sewage Treatment Works both cropping up.

Construction on the sewage treatment works commenced in 1864 at the behest of civil engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette, who was determined to create a sewerage system that would help bring an end to the series of frequent cholera outbreaks in the city.

Beckton Gasworks — built to manufacture coal-derived products including coal gas and coke — operated from 1870 to 1970 and was at one point hailed as Europe’s largest gas works. The site also featured in films, including the 1981 James Bond adventure For Your Eyes Only.

Beautiful shutters for your
Beckton property

Today, virtually no traces of the gasworks survive — a metaphor for Beckton’s industrial past as a whole. In recent decades, much of the suburb has been redeveloped — to the extent that houses and retail outlets now comprise most of its buildings.

Are you a Beckton resident? Whether you live in one of the area’s few remaining Victorian homes — such as those in Windsor Terrace — or one of the more contemporary properties built since the 1980s, don’t overlook how much you could gain from a new set of shutters.

You could even be willing to invest in several sets once you have seen how they would be able to beautify various spaces of your Beckton home — from its living room, kitchen and bathroom to a string of bedrooms.

Arch Shaped Shutters

Shutters for property in London

We were recently asked to fit some of our bespoke shutters to a property in West London. Because of the size and shape of the windows we were required to custom make some made to measure arch shaped shutters.

Bypass Track System Shutters

Shutters for London College

We visited this college in West London to install our bespoke bypass track system shutters to some main windows on the side of the building. The shutters needed to be a practical solution which would also help to modernise the looks of the building at the same time. The location of the windows allow for the shutters to also be seen in full view from outside of the college.

Common Questions

What types of shutters are the most popular in Beckton?

If you attended viewings of various Beckton homes before moving into your current one, you might have spotted the following types of shutters:

  • Full height
  • Tier on tier
  • Café style
  • Solid
  • Track system

However, as we specialise in making bespoke shutters, you should think about a lot more than just the general structure of the new shutters you are seeking.

You are welcome to get in touch with ShuttersUp to discuss aesthetic and practical elements you would like us to weave into the shutters’ design. For example, you should take shutter materials into account…

What shutter materials are available for my shutters in Beckton?

As your Beckton home could easily be either traditional or modern in style, any of the following materials could look ‘just right’ for your property’s shutters…

  • Wood: This is often the go-to choice for period properties — and might even sometimes be a legal requirement if the building is getting renovated.
  • Aluminium: We offer security shutters made from corrosion-resistant aluminium, ensuring that they can hold up against everyday rough and tumble.
  • PVC: Our PVC shutters are coated with plastic but remain aluminium at the core, enabling you to tap into the benefits of both materials.

What are the benefits of ShuttersUp shutters for Beckton properties?

As we have implied, the exact benefits can depend on those shutters’ material(s). Generally, however, ShuttersUp shutters can improve your household’s:

  • Privacy: As you tilt the shutters’ louvres so that they closely overlap, you can prevent strangers from being able to peek into the building and see its occupants.
  • Security: Leaving prying eyes to feast on the contents — especially valuables — of your home can put your property at risk of attracting thieves and burglars.
  • Finances: These shutters can enhance your home’s insulation — and so reduce heat loss that would bode ill for your energy bills.

What is the best type of shutter for my home in Beckton?

Above, we have detailed many of the shutter options we offer — and the benefits they would bring to your home. Still, what would constitute the ‘best’ type of shutter in this situation remains a subjective judgement — and one you should ultimately be left to make.

For this reason, you should get in touch with us — e.g. by ringing 020 3993 5291 or emailing info@shuttersup.co.uk — to explain exactly why you want new shutters in the first place. We can then help you to discern which shutter type would tick enough of the right boxes.

Will ShuttersUp install my shutters in Beckton?

Yes, we will. We have trained members of our in-house team in how to install shutters professionally — meaning that, no matter how conventional or unorthodox your own ShuttersUp shutters happen to be, we can ensure the perfect fit when putting them up.

Once you have sealed the deal for a new set of ShuttersUp shutters, you can anticipate us installing them at your Beckton home about 14-16 weeks down the line — unless you opt for our express delivery option (an additional surcharge applies). In the latter case, the lead time will be approximately 6-7 weeks.
