What to know about manual roller shutters in Hastings
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
What's included
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Hastings
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Hastings and the TN34 district, as part of our coverage across East Sussex.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
