Manual roller shutters in Crawley: the essentials

Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Padlock or bottom-rail locks secure a manual shutter to the ground or guides once it is closed.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Can be converted to electric later
  • Solid or perforated curtains
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths

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.

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    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 Crawley?

Yes. Crawley (RH11) is within our West Sussex coverage, along with nearby Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
