What to know about manual roller shutters in Edinburgh

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.

What's included

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Can be converted to electric later

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Edinburgh and the EH1 district, as part of our coverage across Edinburgh & the Lothians.

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.

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.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
