What to know about manual roller shutters in Accrington

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Options we can specify

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • 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.

Before you book in Accrington

Do you cover Accrington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Accrington. We also cover nearby Rawtenstall, Blackburn and Darwen.

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.

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.

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.

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.
