Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Market Harborough
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. 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.
Options we can specify
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- Solid or perforated curtains
- 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 Market Harborough?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Market Harborough and the LE16 district, as part of our coverage across Leicestershire.
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.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
