Unlike nationals or franchises, we are not tied to a single manufacturer and that means we will recommend the best awning for your property. We can even provide UK made awnings fitted within 2 weeks.

All our reviews are local to you and are not for a franchisee or the employee of a national based in a different part of the country.
We source the best product at the best price providing our customers with the amazing motorised awnings at amazing prices. Our warranty is for 5 years.

We are FCA approved and are able to offer a number of different finance options. Just ask the office for more details.
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.
Unlike many others we take production measurements during your home design consultation. No salespeople – just good, honest, advice.
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.
Our awnings are manufactured to our exacting specifications.
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.
All our fitters are trained and employed by the company. We don’t use sub-contractors.
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: gm@thegreatshutterco.co.uk
The office will arrange a date and time for your home consultation. We take a production measure during the consultation – so only one visit is needed.
We will email a quote with each shutter itemised. We won’t sell to you in your home.
Let us know which shutters you would like to go ahead with and we will create an invoice. On receiving a 50% deposit we will place the shutters into production
Once we have sight of the delivery we will book in our fully employed fitters (they may even have been the original consultant that visited) for your install.
You will receive a post fit call from the office just to ensure you were pleased with the process from start to finish.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“We love our new awning. It looks great and our kitchen is sooo much cooler. Happy me, happy baby, happy dog!”

“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.”

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.
