Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Rickmansworth
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. 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. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
What's included
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

Jobs in Rickmansworth are planned as part of our Hertfordshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Bushey. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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 Rickmansworth
Do you cover Rickmansworth?
Yes. Rickmansworth (WD3) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Bushey.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
