What to check in Ipswich before ordering
In Ipswich, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: A like-for-like replacement is not usually a planning matter, but changing the type or position on a shopfront may be. Check with your council if in doubt.

Frequently asked questions
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 permission for roller shutter replacement in Ipswich?
Possibly. 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. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Ipswich?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Ipswich are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
