What the repair involves in Cornwall
When repair is not worth it, a new shutter measured and fitted. That is the core of our shop shutter replacement work. The engineer also checks the rest of the shutter while on site, so you know about any other part that is close to failing before it strands you.
- Survey and measure the opening
- Quote options for manual, electric, solid, perforated or grille
- Remove and dispose of the old shutter
- Fit, commission and hand over
Signs you need shop shutter replacement

New external shutters often need planning permission, particularly solid shutters and premises in conservation areas. Check with your local planning authority in Cornwall before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.
