How shutter replacement works, and what to ask for

If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.

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 Rust, repeated faults, badly dented laths and outdated controls are common reasons to replace a shutter.

Options we can specify

  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • Box relocation where possible
  • Manual to electric at the same time
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Repair and replace priced side by side

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.

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.

Questions about shutter replacement in South Shields

Do you cover South Shields?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in South Shields. We also cover nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow.

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.

Will you take the old shutter away?

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

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
