How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations.
Options we can specify
- Removal of the old shutter
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Full strip-out and replacement

Covering Isle of Wight
We cover Isle of Wight from Newport (Isle of Wight) to Ryde, Cowes and Sandown, with 4 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.

Shutter replacement: common questions
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
