Choosing shutter replacement for premises in County Durham
Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start.
Specification options
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Box relocation where possible
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Removal of the old shutter

Covering County Durham
We cover County Durham from Darlington to Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham, with 12 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.

Before you book in County Durham
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.
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.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
