What the repair involves in Leicestershire

Signs you need shop shutter replacement
- Insurer wants a higher security rating
- Repair would cost more than half a new shutter
- Curtain, barrel and motor are all worn
- Shutter no longer suits the shopfront
New external shutters often need planning permission, particularly solid shutters and premises in conservation areas. Check with your local planning authority in Leicestershire before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.
How much does shop shutter replacement cost in Leicestershire?
Guide price: £1,100 to £3,200, excluding VAT. We would rather give you an honest range now than a low headline figure that grows on the day, so the engineer confirms the final price once the fault is diagnosed.
How do I book?
Booking takes a couple of minutes: share the address, a description of the fault and your preferred time. If you can, send a photo of the shutter box and guides as well. Once the work is finished the engineer runs the shutter with you, and the invoice sets out exactly what was repaired or replaced.

Replacement starts to make sense when the repair would cost more than about half the price of a new shutter, or when the curtain, barrel and motor are all near the end of their life. The engineer prices both options so you can compare.
