Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Hatfield

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. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Specification options

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Hatfield?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hatfield. We also cover nearby Welwyn Garden City, St Albans and Potters Bar.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
