How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for

Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter. 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.

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.

What's included

  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Removal of the old shutter
  • Repair and replace priced side by side
  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides

Covering County Down

We cover County Down from Bangor (County Down) to Newtownards, Newry and Banbridge, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

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, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in County Down

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 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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
