What to know about electric roller shutters in Colchester

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

What's included

  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear

Rules in England

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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Colchester

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Colchester. We also cover nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

What warranty do I get?

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