Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Darwen

Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. 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.

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.

Specification options

  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Can be converted to electric later

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Darwen

Do you cover Darwen?

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

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.

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.

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.
