Where in Dorset do you cover?
From Dorchester, Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth, shutters in Dorset face the same wear: grit in the guides, tired springs and motors pushed past their duty cycle. Our routes across the BH and DT postcode areas are built around fixing exactly those problems.
What the repair involves in Dorset
With shop shutter replacement, the aim is to get the shutter working safely and to stop the same fault coming back next month. When repair is not worth it, a new shutter measured and fitted. We explain what failed and why, in plain terms.
- 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
- Curtain, barrel and motor are all worn
- Shutter no longer suits the shopfront
- Insurer wants a higher security rating
- Repair would cost more than half a new shutter
New external shutters often need planning permission, particularly solid shutters and premises in conservation areas. Check with your local planning authority in Dorset before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.

Budget £1,100 to £3,200 ex VAT for most shop shutter replacement jobs. You will not be charged for parts or labour you have not agreed to, and the quote is written down so everyone on your side can see it.
