How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Push-up shutters use a tensioned spring in the barrel to balance the curtain, so a person can lift it with a pole or by hand. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Features to choose from

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

Rules in Wales

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  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.

Before you book in Pontypool

Do you cover Pontypool?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Pontypool and the NP4 district, as part of our coverage across Gwent.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

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.
