How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Specification options

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Cheltenham?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Cheltenham. We also cover nearby Tewkesbury, Stroud and Cirencester.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
