How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

Options we can specify

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Chester?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Chester and the CH1 district, as part of our coverage across Cheshire.

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.

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 get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
