Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
How much does roller shutter replacement cost in Lancaster?
We use the same UK guide prices in Lancaster; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for roller shutter replacement in Lancaster?
It depends on the property. 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. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
