What to know about shutter replacement in Durham
If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
Features to choose from
- Removal of the old shutter
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Box relocation where possible

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 Durham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Durham. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
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.
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.
