Shutter replacement in Chatham: the essentials
The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows.
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.
What's included
- Box relocation where possible
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Removal of the old shutter
- Commissioning and safety checks

Rules in England
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.
How it works
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Shutter replacement: common questions
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. Chatham (ME4) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Gillingham, Rochester and Strood.
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 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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
