Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in South Shields

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.

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.

What's included

  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation

Where we work around South Shields

Jobs in South Shields are planned as part of our Tyne and Wear coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Manual roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover South Shields?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in South Shields and the NE33 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.

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.

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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

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.
