Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Peterborough

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.

What's included

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Solid or perforated curtains

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.

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Peterborough

Do you cover Peterborough?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Peterborough and the PE1 district, as part of our coverage across Cambridgeshire.

Can I add a motor later?

Yes, in many cases. If the curtain, barrel and box are in good order, a tube motor and key switch can be fitted. See our manual-to-electric conversion service.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
