Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Bow
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.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
Features to choose from
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. Bow (E3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Stratford (London), Canary Wharf and Canning Town.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
