Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Oakham
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
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. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
Options we can specify
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Can be converted to electric later
- 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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Oakham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Oakham. We also cover nearby Uppingham, Melton Mowbray and Stamford.
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.
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.
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.
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.
