How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
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. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
What's included
- Removal of the old shutter
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Box relocation where possible
- Repair and replace priced side by side

Covering Gloucestershire
We cover Gloucestershire from Gloucester to Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
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 homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Gloucestershire
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
