How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose. Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
Features to choose from
- Removal of the old shutter
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Box relocation where possible
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks

Covering Berkshire
We cover Berkshire from Reading to Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead, with 10 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.
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 homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
Is it worth upgrading when I replace?
It is the cheapest time to add electric operation, perforated laths or insulation, because the work is being done anyway.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
