How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Covering Derbyshire

We cover Derbyshire from Derby to Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston, with 12 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

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

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
