Manual roller shutters in Droylsden: the essentials

Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. 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. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.

What's included

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Droylsden

Do you cover Droylsden?

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

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
