What to know about manual roller shutters in Eltham

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.

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. 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.

What's included

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Eltham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Eltham and the SE9 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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.

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.

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.

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.
