Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Grays
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter. The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement.
Specification options
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Removal of the old shutter
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Box relocation where possible
- Repair and replace priced side by side

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

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

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

Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Before you book in Grays
Do you cover Grays?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Grays. We also cover nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.
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 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.
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.
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.
