Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Arbroath

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. 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. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Options we can specify

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Arbroath?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Arbroath. We also cover nearby Montrose and Forfar.

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 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 get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
