What to know about electric roller shutters in March

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

Options we can specify

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

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.

  3. Written fixed price

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Your questions answered

Do you cover March?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in March. We also cover nearby Wisbech, Ely and King's Lynn.

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.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
