What to know about manual roller shutters in Glasgow

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.

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. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

What's included

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

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Glasgow?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Glasgow and the G1 district, as part of our coverage across Glasgow & Dunbartonshire.

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 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.

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.

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.
