Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Newmarket
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
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.
Specification options
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- 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.

Before you book in Newmarket
Do you cover Newmarket?
Yes. Newmarket (CB8) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Haverhill, Ely and Cambridge.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
