Manual roller shutters in Potters Bar: the essentials
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
Options we can specify
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Solid or perforated curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Can be converted to electric later
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier 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 Potters Bar?
Yes. Potters Bar (EN6) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Barnet, Enfield and Borehamwood.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
