Manual roller shutters in Borehamwood: the essentials
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
Features to choose from
- Can be converted to electric later
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- 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.

Before you book in Borehamwood
Do you cover Borehamwood?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Borehamwood. We also cover nearby Barnet, Bushey and Potters Bar.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
