Manual roller shutters in Falmouth: the essentials

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Specification options

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Falmouth

Do you cover Falmouth?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Falmouth. We also cover nearby Redruth, Camborne and Newquay.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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