Manual roller shutters in Rochester: the essentials

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

Push-up shutters use a tensioned spring in the barrel to balance the curtain, so a person can lift it with a pole or by hand. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Features to choose from

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Rochester?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Rochester and the ME1 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

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.

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.
