Manual roller shutters in Failsworth: the essentials
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.
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
What's included
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later

Jobs in Failsworth are planned as part of our Greater Manchester coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Droylsden, Ashton-under-Lyne and Chadderton. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.

Before you book in Failsworth
Do you cover Failsworth?
Yes. Failsworth (M35) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Droylsden, Ashton-under-Lyne and Chadderton.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
