What the repair involves in Rutland
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 Rutland before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.
