How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
Options we can specify
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Solid or perforated curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed

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
Do you cover Battersea?
Yes. Battersea (SW11) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Chelsea, Pimlico and Westminster.
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.
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.
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.
