How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
Specification options
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Richmond (London)?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Richmond (London) and the TW9 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.
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.
