What to know about electric roller shutters in Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. 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.

What's included

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Covering Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

We cover Glasgow & Dunbartonshire from Glasgow to Bearsden, Clydebank and Bishopbriggs, 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.

Before you book in Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
