Manual roller shutters in Peterlee: the essentials
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
Specification options
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Peterlee?
Yes. Peterlee (SR8) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Hartlepool and Houghton-le-Spring.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
