What to know about manual roller shutters in Boston

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. 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.

Features to choose from

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Boston?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Boston and the PE21 district, as part of our coverage across Lincolnshire.

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.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
