Manual roller shutters in Ashton-under-Lyne: the essentials

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.

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier 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.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ashton-under-Lyne. We also cover nearby Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
