How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for
If your old shutter was manual, the replacement can be electric from the start. 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. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
Features to choose from
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Removal of the old shutter
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Full strip-out and replacement

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Ipswich

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ipswich. We also cover nearby Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.
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.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
