What to know about manual roller shutters in Solihull

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor.

Options we can specify

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Can be converted to electric later

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.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Solihull

Do you cover Solihull?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Solihull and the B91 district, as part of our coverage across West Midlands.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
