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. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. 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.
Features to choose from
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear

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 Bow
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. Bow (E3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Stratford (London), Canary Wharf and Canning Town.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
