What to know about shutter replacement in Galashiels
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.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. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.
Options we can specify
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Box relocation where possible
- Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Full strip-out and replacement

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.
How it works
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Shutter replacement: common questions
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. Galashiels (TD1) is within our Scottish Borders coverage, along with nearby Hawick, Peebles and Musselburgh.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
