Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Wigan

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

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.

What's included

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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.

How it works

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

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

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Wigan?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Wigan. We also cover nearby Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Westhoughton.

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
