Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Barrow-in-Furness
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Remote fobs, wall switches and timer controls can be combined, so staff can open up from the car or the shutter can close at a set time. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
Features to choose from
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Commissioning and force checks on handover

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Barrow-in-Furness?
Yes. Barrow-in-Furness (LA14) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Lancaster.
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 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.
Can I open the shutter with my phone?
Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.
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.
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.
