Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Paignton
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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
Specification options
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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 Paignton
Do you cover Paignton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Paignton. We also cover nearby Torquay, Newton Abbot and Exmouth.
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 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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
