How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. 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.
Features to choose from
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

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 Plymouth
Do you cover Plymouth?
Yes. Plymouth (PL2) is within our Devon coverage, along with the rest of Devon.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
