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. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement.
Features to choose from

- Box relocation where possible

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Nelson?
Yes. Nelson (BB9) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Colne, Burnley and Accrington.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
