How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Barnes?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Barnes and the SW13 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.
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 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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
