How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
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. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Specification options
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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.

Before you book in Stanford-le-Hope
Do you cover Stanford-le-Hope?
Yes. Stanford-le-Hope (SS17) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Basildon, Pitsea and Grays.
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.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
