Manual roller shutters in Gainsborough: the essentials

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Features to choose from

  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • 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 Gainsborough

Do you cover Gainsborough?

Yes. Gainsborough (DN21) is within our Lincolnshire coverage, along with nearby Retford, Scunthorpe and Worksop.

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.

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 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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
