How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. 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.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Features to choose from
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Waterlooville?
Yes. Waterlooville (PO7) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Havant, Portsmouth and Fareham.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
