Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Bathgate
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. 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. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Solid or perforated curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed

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.

Before you book in Bathgate
Do you cover Bathgate?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bathgate. We also cover nearby Livingston, Falkirk and Airdrie.
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.
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.
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.
