Choosing shutter replacement for premises in South Glamorgan

A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths. Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.

Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.

Specification options

  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Manual to electric at the same time
  • Removal of the old shutter
  • Repair and replace priced side by side
  • Box relocation where possible
  • Commissioning and safety checks

Covering South Glamorgan

We cover South Glamorgan from Cardiff to Barry and Penarth, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Wales

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

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 Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

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

  3. Fixed repair price

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

  4. Tested and reported

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

Your questions answered

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.

Will you take the old shutter away?

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

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 get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
