How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
What's included
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- 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.

Before you book in Broadstairs
Do you cover Broadstairs?

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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
