How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. 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.
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
Specification options
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

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 Nottingham
Do you cover Nottingham?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Nottingham and the NG1 district, as part of our coverage across Nottinghamshire.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
