What to know about electric roller shutters in Clwyd
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. 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. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.
What's included
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Optional app or smart-home control

Rules in Wales
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.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

Electric roller shutters: common questions
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out 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.
