What to know about electric roller shutters in Ashton-under-Lyne
Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
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. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.
Specification options
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. Ashton-under-Lyne (OL7) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.
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.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
