Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Peterborough

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Optional app or smart-home 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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Peterborough

Do you cover Peterborough?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Peterborough. We also cover nearby Stamford, March and Spalding.

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.

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.

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.
