Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Cheltenham
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. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Specification options
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

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.

Before you book in Cheltenham
Do you cover Cheltenham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Cheltenham. We also cover nearby Tewkesbury, Stroud and Cirencester.
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.
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.
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.
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.
