Shutters & security
Manual roller shutters
In short, manual roller shutters are spring-balanced shutters for smaller openings. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
How it is made
Every installation is tested through its full travel and the safety features are checked at handover. Where anything is fitted to the outside of the building, we check whether planning consent is needed first. Electric operation can be by key switch, remote or both, with a manual override for power cuts.
Working with us
We start from how the premises will be secured when it is closed, then design the frontage around it. That way the shutter, the door hardware and any bollards all work as one plan rather than a patchwork.
Options and specification
- Powder-coated laths and guides
- Suited to openings up to about 3m wide
- Pull strap or winding handle
How much do manual roller shutters cost?
Budget from £890 plus VAT as a starting point. Width, height, finish and access move the final figure. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
How long does it take?
Allow 2-3 weeks after survey from drawings to delivery. Fitting a standard your unit is normally one to two days on site. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.

Questions about manual roller shutters
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does manual roller shutters cost near me?
Manual roller shutters start from around £890 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
