Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Merseyside

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

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.

Features to choose from

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation

Covering Merseyside

We cover Merseyside from Liverpool to Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport, with 16 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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 Merseyside

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 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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
