Manual roller shutters in Widnes: the essentials

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. 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. Push-up shutters use a tensioned spring in the barrel to balance the curtain, so a person can lift it with a pole or by hand.

What's included

  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • 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.

How it works

  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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Widnes?

Yes. Widnes (WA8) is within our Cheshire coverage, along with nearby Runcorn, Halewood and Prescot.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
