Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Brixton
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. 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.
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Can be converted to electric later
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- 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.

Before you book in Brixton
Do you cover Brixton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Brixton. We also cover nearby Peckham, Pimlico and Battersea.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
