What to know about shutter replacement in Urmston
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.
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Features to choose from
- Removal of the old shutter
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- 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.
