How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Options we can specify
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- 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 Letchworth Garden City?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Letchworth Garden City and the SG6 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
