How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
Specification options
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Box relocation where possible
- Removal of the old shutter
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.
