What to know about shutter replacement in Reading
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows.
Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
What's included
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Box relocation where possible
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Removal of the old shutter

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Reading
Do you cover Reading?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Reading. We also cover nearby Wokingham, Crowthorne and Yateley.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
