How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.
Options we can specify
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Removal of the old shutter
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Box relocation where possible
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- 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 Blackburn?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Blackburn. We also cover nearby Darwen, Accrington and Chorley.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
