Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Galashiels
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. 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.
Specification options
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Galashiels. We also cover nearby Hawick, Peebles and Musselburgh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
