Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Northamptonshire

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. 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. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

What's included

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation

Covering Northamptonshire

We cover Northamptonshire from Northampton to Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough, with 6 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
