How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Features to choose from

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Ely?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ely. We also cover nearby Newmarket, March and Cambridge.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
