Manual roller shutters in Canterbury: the essentials

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

What's included

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • No power supply or electrician needed

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Canterbury

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Canterbury and the CT1 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
