Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Helensburgh

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.

Features to choose from

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Helensburgh

Do you cover Helensburgh?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Helensburgh and the G84 district, as part of our coverage across Argyll & Bute.

What is the widest manual shutter?

Push-up shutters work best up to about 3m wide. Wider or heavier curtains are normally fitted with a hand crank or a motor so they can be operated safely.

Why is my manual shutter so heavy to lift?

Usually the spring in the barrel has lost tension or the guides need cleaning. A shutter engineer can re-tension the spring, which is far cheaper than replacing the shutter.

Are manual shutters less secure than electric ones?

Not inherently. Security comes from the curtain, guides and locks. Manual shutters are secured with bottom-rail locks or padlocks, while electric shutters are held down by the motor and locks.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
