How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
What's included
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- 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 Barrow-in-Furness?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Barrow-in-Furness and the LA14 district, as part of our coverage across Cumbria.
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.
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 warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
