How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.
What's included
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Spring-balanced push-up operation

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 Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. Stoke-on-Trent (ST4) is within our Staffordshire coverage, along with nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
