What is roller shutter replacement?
We survey the existing shutter first. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a replacement curtain is much cheaper than a whole shutter and can change the look, for example swapping solid laths for perforated.
Complete replacement is usually best when guides are damaged, the barrel is bent, the shutter is undersized for the opening, or you want a cleaner installation behind the fascia.
Old shutters are removed and disposed of responsibly as part of the job.
Which options can you choose?
- Curtain onlyNew laths on the existing barrel, guides and box.
- CompleteNew box, barrel, guides, curtain and controls.
- UpgradeChange to perforated, insulated, aluminium or electric.

Questions about roller shutter replacement
Can I replace just the shutter curtain?
Yes, if the box, barrel and guides are sound. It is often the cheapest way to fix a shutter with corroded or damaged laths.
Do you take away the old shutter?
Yes, removal and disposal is included in replacement quotes.
Do I need planning permission to replace a shutter?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not, but changing type, colour or position on a shopfront may. Check with your council.
