What to know about manual roller shutters in Penarth
Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
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. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.
Specification options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Penarth?
Yes. Penarth (CF64) is within our South Glamorgan coverage, along with nearby Barry, Caerphilly and Risca.
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.
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.
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 get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
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.
