What the repair involves in Edinburgh and Lothians
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
New external shutters often need planning permission, particularly solid shutters and premises in conservation areas. Check with your council's planning service in Edinburgh and Lothians before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.
