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. 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. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Options we can specify
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Solid or perforated curtains
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Can be converted to electric later
- 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 Shipley?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual roller shutters in Shipley and the BD18 district, as part of our coverage across West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
