How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition.
Options we can specify
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- 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 Littlehampton
Do you cover Littlehampton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Littlehampton and the BN17 district, as part of our coverage across West Sussex.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
