How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows.
What's included
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Box relocation where possible
- Removal of the old shutter
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks

Where we work around Chester
Jobs in Chester are planned as part of our Cheshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Ellesmere Port, Halewood and Bebington. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.

Shutter replacement: common questions
Do you cover Chester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester. We also cover nearby Ellesmere Port, Halewood and Bebington.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
