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. 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. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Features to choose from

  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • No power supply or electrician needed

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 Gateshead

Do you cover Gateshead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gateshead. We also cover nearby Wallsend, Hebburn and Jarrow.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
