Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Ely
Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. 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.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Ely?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Ely and the CB7 district, as part of our coverage across Cambridgeshire.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
