Fitting manual roller shutters in Southampton
We survey and install across Hampshire, and Southampton is one of the cities covered. Our coverage around Southampton also includes Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Southampton before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Southampton where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Southampton
Why is my push-up shutter heavy?
The springs that balance the curtain lose tension over time. Re-tensioning or replacing them usually fixes it.
Are manual shutters cheaper?
Yes, to buy and to run, but they cost staff time every day on busy premises.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Southampton?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Southampton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Southampton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
