What the repair involves in Tyne and Wear
What does shop shutter replacement involve? In short: find the cause, agree the price, fix it and test it. When repair is not worth it, a new shutter measured and fitted. Anything that needs ordering is confirmed in writing with a fitting date.
- 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 Tyne and Wear before ordering; perforated or internal grilles are sometimes an acceptable alternative.
