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. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
Features to choose from
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- 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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Romford
Do you cover Romford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Romford. We also cover nearby Hornchurch, Dagenham and Becontree.
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 I open the shutter with my phone?
Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
