How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Features to choose from
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Can be converted to electric later
- No power supply or electrician needed

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Hindley?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hindley. We also cover nearby Wigan, Westhoughton and Leigh.
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.
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 your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
