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. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. 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
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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 Hoddesdon
Do you cover Hoddesdon?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hoddesdon. We also cover nearby Hertford, Cheshunt and Waltham Abbey.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
What details help you quote quickly?
