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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
Specification options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in South Croydon
Do you cover South Croydon?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in South Croydon. We also cover nearby Croydon, Purley and Wallington.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
