Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Truro

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.

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Options we can specify

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later

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 Truro

Do you cover Truro?

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

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.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
