How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day.
Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Features to choose from
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Bury St Edmunds?
Yes. Bury St Edmunds (IP33) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Thetford, Stowmarket and Newmarket.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
What details help you quote quickly?
