Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Pontefract
Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations.
New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything.
Specification options
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Removal of the old shutter
- Box relocation where possible
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Full strip-out and replacement

Rules in England
Electrical work

Shutter replacement: common questions
Do you cover Pontefract?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter replacement in Pontefract and the WF8 district, as part of our coverage across West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
