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. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light.
What's included
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Can be converted to electric later
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains

Covering South Glamorgan
We cover South Glamorgan from Cardiff to Barry and Penarth, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Wales
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

Before you book in South Glamorgan
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.
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.
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.
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.
