Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Maidstone

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. 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. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.

Specification options

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

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 Maidstone

Do you cover Maidstone?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Maidstone. We also cover nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
