How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. 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.
Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Features to choose from
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and force checks on handover

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 Larne?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Larne. We also cover nearby Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Bangor (County Down).
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
