Manual roller shutters in Swindon: the essentials
Manual shutters are common on kiosks, serving hatches, garages and outbuildings where daily use is light. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.
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. 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
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Solid or perforated curtains
- No power supply or electrician needed
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains

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.

Before you book in Swindon
Do you cover Swindon?
Yes. Swindon (SN1) is within our Wiltshire coverage, along with nearby Cirencester, Chippenham and Witney.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
