What to know about electric roller shutters in Exeter
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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.
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
What's included
- Manual override for power cuts
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

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 Exeter
Do you cover Exeter?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Exeter. We also cover nearby Exmouth, Tiverton and Newton Abbot.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
