What to know about electric roller shutters in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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.

Specification options

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Ashton-in-Makerfield?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ashton-in-Makerfield. We also cover nearby Golborne, Newton-le-Willows and St Helens.

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.

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.

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.

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.
