How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
Specification options
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Electric roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Gerrards Cross?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Gerrards Cross and the SL9 district, as part of our coverage across Buckinghamshire.
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.
What happens to an electric shutter in a power cut?
Every electric shutter we supply has a manual override, so it can be wound or released by hand until the power returns.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
