How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for

If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.

A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths. Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations.

Options we can specify

  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Repair and replace priced side by side
  • Box relocation where possible
  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • Full strip-out and replacement
  • Commissioning and safety checks

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

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Shutter replacement: common questions

Do you cover Chelmsford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter replacement in Chelmsford and the CM1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

Will you take the old shutter away?

Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
