What to know about electric roller shutters in Reading

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

What's included

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Reading?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Reading. We also cover nearby Wokingham, Crowthorne and Yateley.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
