What to know about manual roller shutters in Crewe
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. 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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Options we can specify
- 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
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Crewe
Do you cover Crewe?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Crewe. We also cover nearby Winsford, Kidsgrove and Congleton.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
