Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Braintree
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.
We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Specification options
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Removal of the old shutter
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- 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.
