Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Dunstable

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

What's included

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Dunstable?

Yes. Dunstable (LU6) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

Can I open the shutter with my phone?

Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.

How long do shutter motors last?

With regular servicing a good tube motor typically lasts many years. Heavy daily use, an overweight curtain or misaligned guides shorten its life, which is why servicing matters.

Are safety edges always needed?

Not always. It depends on the risk assessment: who uses the opening, whether people or vehicles pass under it, and how the shutter is controlled. Hold-to-run key switches on a shopfront often need less than an automatic industrial door.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
