Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Sunderland

Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.

The old shutter is removed and taken away as part of a full replacement. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.

Specification options

  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • 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

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Sunderland?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter replacement in Sunderland and the SR1 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.

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 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 the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
