What to know about manual roller shutters in Whitstable

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Options we can specify

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

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 Whitstable?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Whitstable. We also cover nearby Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham.

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.

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.

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 details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
