Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Kendal

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.

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. 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.

Specification options

  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Kendal

Do you cover Kendal?

Yes. Kendal (LA9) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

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.
