Manual roller shutters in Barnstaple: the essentials

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Barnstaple

Do you cover Barnstaple?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Barnstaple and the EX31 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.

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.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
