What to know about manual roller shutters in Derry/Londonderry
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
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. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Can be converted to electric later

Rules in Northern Ireland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Derry/Londonderry?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Derry/Londonderry. We also cover nearby Strabane and Limavady.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
