What to know about shutter replacement in Colchester

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.

New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start.

Options we can specify

  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Manual to electric at the same time
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • Box relocation where possible
  • Full strip-out and replacement

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 Colchester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Colchester. We also cover nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

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.
