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 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.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Features to choose from

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

Covering Harwich and nearby

Jobs in Harwich are planned as part of our Essex coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Harwich?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Harwich and the CO12 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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 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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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