What to know about electric roller shutters in Thatcham

Remote fobs, wall switches and timer controls can be combined, so staff can open up from the car or the shutter can close at a set time. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

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. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

What's included

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Optional app or smart-home control

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.

  1. Send the details

  2. We survey the opening

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Thatcham

Do you cover Thatcham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Thatcham and the RG18 district, as part of our coverage across Berkshire.

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.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

Usually not. Most shutters run from a fused spur near the shutter box. If there is no supply nearby, a new circuit is quoted separately and done by a qualified electrician.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
