How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.
Specification options
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Removal of the old shutter
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Repair and replace priced side by side

Covering Forth Valley
We cover Forth Valley from Stirling to Falkirk and Alloa, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
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.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Your questions answered
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.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
