Manual roller shutters in Becontree: the essentials

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

What's included

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Solid or perforated curtains

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 Becontree?

Yes. Becontree (RM9) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Dagenham, Barking and Ilford.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
