Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Dundee & Angus

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

Covering Dundee & Angus

We cover Dundee & Angus from Dundee to Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

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 Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
