Where in County Durham do you cover?
From Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Bishop Auckland, Durham and Darlington, shutters in County Durham face the same wear: grit in the guides, tired springs and motors pushed past their duty cycle. Our routes across the DH, DL and TS postcode areas are built around fixing exactly those problems.
What the repair involves in County Durham
Shop shutter replacement usually starts with the engineer watching the shutter run, if it runs at all, then checking the parts most likely to be at fault. When repair is not worth it, a new shutter measured and fitted. Where the part is carried on the van the job is often finished the same visit.
- 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

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