Electric roller shutters in Eltham: the essentials

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.

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Options we can specify

  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • 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

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Eltham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Eltham and the SE9 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What warranty do I get?

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