What to know about electric roller shutters in South Croydon

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • 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 South Croydon?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in South Croydon. We also cover nearby Croydon, Purley and Wallington.

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.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
