What to know about manual roller shutters in Derbyshire
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
Features to choose from
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

Covering Derbyshire
We cover Derbyshire from Derby to Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston, with 12 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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
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 details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
