Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Ilford

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Options we can specify

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

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 Ilford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Ilford and the IG1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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.

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.

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 I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
