What to know about manual roller shutters in Welling
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Solid or perforated curtains

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 Welling?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Welling. We also cover nearby Bexley, Eltham and Thamesmead.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
What details help you quote quickly?
