How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

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

Specification options

  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Covering County Antrim

We cover County Antrim from Belfast to Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Northern Ireland

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, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Before you book in County Antrim

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 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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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