Manual roller shutters in Whitehaven: the essentials

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. 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.

Features to choose from

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Whitehaven?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Whitehaven and the CA28 district, as part of our coverage across Cumbria.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
