How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
Features to choose from
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Carshalton
Do you cover Carshalton?
Yes. Carshalton (SM5) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Wallington, Sutton and Mitcham.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
