Electric roller shutters in Peterlee: the essentials

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. 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. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Features to choose from

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • 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 Peterlee?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Peterlee. We also cover nearby Seaham, Hartlepool and Houghton-le-Spring.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
