Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Hereford
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. 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.
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains
- 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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Hereford
Do you cover Hereford?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Hereford and the HR1 district, as part of our coverage across Herefordshire.
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 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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
