What to know about electric roller shutters in Oldham
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Optional app or smart-home control

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Oldham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Oldham. We also cover nearby Chadderton, Royton and Failsworth.
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 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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
