How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
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.
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Box relocation where possible
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Full strip-out and replacement

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.

Shutter replacement: common questions
Do you cover Hertford?
Yes. Hertford (SG13) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Hoddesdon, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield.
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.
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 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.
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.
