Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Bridgwater
Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. 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
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

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 Bridgwater?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bridgwater. We also cover nearby Burnham-on-Sea, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.
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.
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.
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.
