How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

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. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

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

Features to choose from

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • 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 Ruislip?

Yes. Ruislip (HA4) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Northolt, Uxbridge and Harrow.

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.

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.

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 you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
