How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. 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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Options we can specify
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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 Coulsdon
Do you cover Coulsdon?
Yes. Coulsdon (CR5) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Purley, Banstead and Wallington.
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 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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
