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. 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.

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. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Truro?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Truro. We also cover nearby Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.

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.

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.

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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
