Manual roller shutters in Greater Manchester: the essentials

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Covering Greater Manchester

We cover Greater Manchester from Manchester to Oldham, Wigan and Bolton, with 40 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
