Manual roller shutters in Bishop's Stortford: the essentials
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. 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.
Options we can specify
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Solid or perforated curtains

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 Bishop's Stortford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bishop's Stortford. We also cover nearby Harlow, Hoddesdon and Hertford.
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 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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
