Shutter replacement in Bishop Auckland: the essentials

Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.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

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.

Specification options

  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Manual to electric at the same time
  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • Box relocation where possible
  • Removal of the old shutter
  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths

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.

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.

Shutter replacement: common questions

Do you cover Bishop Auckland?

Yes. Bishop Auckland (DL14) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Chester-le-Street.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
