Transformed the whole front of the house
Jake measured every window personally and noticed the bay was 7° out of square, something the previous firm we'd quoted with hadn't even mentioned. Six weeks later the shutters fitted hairline-tight and the room feels like a completely different house. £1,100 cheaper than the original quote too.

Solved a problem two other firms wouldn't touch
Our atrium glazing runs 4.2m tall and three earlier installers either declined or wanted £14k. Homestyle hardwired Somfy motors, app-controlled, sun-tracking presets, the whole job came in at £6,800 and was finished in a single day. Couldn't fault them.

Conservation officer approved on first submission
I was nervous about shutters in a Grade II listed cottage but they liaised with conservation officers, supplied stain samples in advance and built separate frames per mullion light. The finish matches our oak joinery perfectly. Worth every penny.

Genuinely the best trade experience we've had
Jake answered every call within two rings, turned up exactly when he said he would, and the two-person fitting team protected our oak floors with proper dust sheets. Quote was line-by-line, deposit terms explained clearly, no upsell. The made-to-measure curtains in the lounge are gorgeous.

Saved us £140 per window
We'd had a couple of other quotes and the markup was eye-watering. Same hardwood spec, same finish, fitted by a proper two-person team, Homestyle came in £560 cheaper across four windows and felt twice as professional.

The Edwardian bay finally looks finished
Three previous owners had hung curtains that fought with the leaded upper lights. Jake designed mid-rail shutters that screen the lower glass while leaving the leaded section completely visible. It's the single best aesthetic decision we've made on this house.

No warping after a full Pennine winter
Previous MDF shutters lasted 18 months before they crowned in the family bathroom. Homestyle specified marine-grade ABS, explained exactly why, and a full winter later they're still flat. Properly informed advice, properly fitted.

Worth the wait and worth the price
Eight-week lead time for hardwood but the result is exquisite. Stain-matched to our existing oak, separate frames for each mullion light, finished to furniture standard. Three neighbours have already asked for their number.

Eleven windows, one day, zero mess
Two fitters, eight hours, every floor protected, every cuttings bag taken away. The shutters close hairline-tight on apertures I know are out of square. Ten-year shutter warranty in writing. This is how trades should operate.
