Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Portsmouth
We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Options we can specify
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Removal of the old shutter
- 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.

Questions about shutter replacement in Portsmouth
Do you cover Portsmouth?
Yes. Portsmouth (PO5) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.
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.
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 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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
