How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.
Features to choose from
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in Northern Ireland
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Ballymena?
Yes. Ballymena (BT42) is within our County Antrim coverage, along with nearby Antrim, Larne and Newtownabbey.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
