How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.
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 Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
Options we can specify
- Box relocation where possible
- Removal of the old shutter
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Full strip-out and replacement
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Manual to electric at the same time

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.
