What to know about manual roller shutters in Canning Town
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
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.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Solid or perforated curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

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 Canning Town?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Canning Town. We also cover nearby Stratford (London), Bow and Canary Wharf.
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.
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.
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.
