What to know about manual roller shutters in Fareham
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.
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Options we can specify
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

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 Fareham?
Yes. Fareham (PO16) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Gosport, Portsmouth and Waterlooville.
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.
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.
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.
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.
