What to know about manual roller shutters in Bishop Auckland

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. 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. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Options we can specify

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

Questions about manual roller shutters in Bishop Auckland

Do you cover Bishop Auckland?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Bishop Auckland and the DL14 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
