How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.
The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
Options we can specify
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Removal of the old shutter
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths

Covering Gainsborough and nearby
Jobs in Gainsborough are planned as part of our Lincolnshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Retford, Scunthorpe and Worksop. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.
How it works

An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported

Questions about shutter replacement in Gainsborough
Do you cover Gainsborough?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gainsborough. We also cover nearby Retford, Scunthorpe and Worksop.
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.
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.
