What to know about manual roller shutters in Aberdeen
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Specification options
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Aberdeen?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Aberdeen and the AB10 district, as part of our coverage across Grampian.
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.
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 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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
