How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Covering Gloucestershire
We cover Gloucestershire from Gloucester to Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
