Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Thornton-Cleveleys

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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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 shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Thornton-Cleveleys

Do you cover Thornton-Cleveleys?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Thornton-Cleveleys and the FY5 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
