Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Birkenhead

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Specification options

  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • 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.

Before you book in Birkenhead

Do you cover Birkenhead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Birkenhead and the CH41 district, as part of our coverage across Merseyside.

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.

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.

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.

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.
