How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
What's included
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation

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.

Before you book in Brighton
Do you cover Brighton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Brighton. We also cover nearby Hove, Burgess Hill and Worthing.
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.
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 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.
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.
