What to know about manual roller shutters in Stornoway
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.
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
What's included
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Spring-balanced push-up operation

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.

Before you book in Stornoway
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Stornoway and the HS1 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.
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.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
