What to know about shutter replacement in Northumberland
If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. 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. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.
Features to choose from
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Removal of the old shutter
- Box relocation where possible
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Manual to electric at the same time

Covering Northumberland
We cover Northumberland from Blyth to Cramlington, Ashington and Morpeth, with 6 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.

Before you book in Northumberland
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
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.

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
What details help you quote quickly?
