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.

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. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

What's included

  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician

Rules in England

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.

  2. Free survey

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Darlington

Do you cover Darlington?

Yes. Darlington (DL3) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees.

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.

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 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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
