How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Box relocation where possible
- Removal of the old shutter
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Full strip-out and replacement

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.

Before you book in Peterborough
Do you cover Peterborough?
Yes. Peterborough (PE1) is within our Cambridgeshire coverage, along with nearby Stamford, March and Spalding.
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 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.
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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
