What to know about electric roller shutters in Edinburgh

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.

Features to choose from

  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

Your questions answered

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh (EH1) is within our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, along with nearby Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
