Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Peterlee
The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. 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.
What's included
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Box relocation where possible
- Removal of the old shutter
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides

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.
How it works
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Your questions answered
Do you cover Peterlee?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter replacement in Peterlee and the SR8 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
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.
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.
