Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Gravesend

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

What's included

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

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Gravesend?

Yes. Gravesend (DA12) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Grays, Strood and South Ockendon.

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 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
