Editorial update on 19 September 2026
Define each unit
A shutter may mean one leaf or a pair. Record dimensions, one or both faces, edges, louvres and hardware. For gates separate leaves, pedestrian gate, posts and exclusions. Apparent area may understate work around slats and bars.
Separate painting and repairs
Itemise coating preparation, timber or metal repairs, hardware, any primer and finish. Record inspection reservations. Compare site and workshop options only where both suit the project.
Include removal and recommissioning
Request transport, protection, access, removal, refitting, adjustment, cleaning and waste. Identify motor-related work and who performs it. Specify taxes by item and exclusions; do not assume one reduced rate for building shutters and an external gate.
