Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Northampton
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
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. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
What's included
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- 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 Northampton
Do you cover Northampton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Northampton and the NN1 district, as part of our coverage across Northamptonshire.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
