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Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.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