What to know about electric roller shutters in Wimbledon
Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. 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.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Optional app or smart-home control
- 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 Wimbledon
Do you cover Wimbledon?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Wimbledon and the SW19 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.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
