How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.
Specification options
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Removal of the old shutter
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Kendal?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kendal. We also cover nearby Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
