Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.

Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.

For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in South Glamorgan are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
