Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Portishead
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.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.
Features to choose from
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- No power supply or electrician needed

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 Portishead
Do you cover Portishead?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Portishead. We also cover nearby Nailsea, Clevedon and Bristol.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
