Manual roller shutters in Pitsea: the essentials

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. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

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.

What's included

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Can be converted to electric later

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Pitsea?

Yes. Pitsea (SS13) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Basildon, South Benfleet and Wickford.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
