How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
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.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Chesterfield

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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out 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.
