What to know about shutter replacement in Ayrshire
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.
If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
What's included
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Box relocation where possible
- Repair and replace priced side by side

Covering Ayrshire
We cover Ayrshire from Kilmarnock to Ayr and Irvine, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Before you book in Ayrshire
Can I keep my shutter box and just replace the curtain?
Often yes, if the box, barrel and guides are sound. We inspect them and price both options.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
Do I need planning permission to replace a shutter?
A like-for-like replacement often does not, but changing the design, colour or position of an external shutter may. We check with you before ordering.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
