How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.

What's included

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Strood?

Yes. Strood (ME2) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

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.
