What to know about manual roller shutters in Christchurch

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. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Options we can specify

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

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 Christchurch?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Christchurch and the BH23 district, as part of our coverage across Dorset.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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