What to know about shutter replacement in Dover
Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement.
Features to choose from
- Removal of the old shutter
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Box relocation where possible
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths

Rules in England
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.

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.
Before you book in Dover
Do you cover Dover?
Yes. Dover (CT16) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury.
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.
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.
