Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Lerwick

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

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.

Features to choose from

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

How it works

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lerwick. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.

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.

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.

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.
