Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Dartford

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. 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
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Can be converted to electric later

Covering Dartford and nearby

Jobs in Dartford are planned as part of our Kent coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Bexley, Swanley and Welling. 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.

  4. We fit and commission

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

Before you book in Dartford

Do you cover Dartford?

Yes. Dartford (DA1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Bexley, Swanley and Welling.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

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.
