Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Merseyside

Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.

Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.

Options we can specify

  • Box relocation where possible
  • Repair and replace priced side by side
  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Full strip-out and replacement
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Removal of the old shutter

Covering Merseyside

We cover Merseyside from Liverpool to Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport, with 16 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

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.

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

  3. Fixed repair price

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Will you take the old shutter away?

Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
