How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Hand-crank shutters use a gearbox and handle, which makes heavier or wider curtains manageable without a motor. 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.
Options we can specify
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Can be converted to electric later
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Manual roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Halifax?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Halifax and the HX1 district, as part of our coverage across West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
