Electric roller shutters in Rochdale: the essentials

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. 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. Remote fobs, wall switches and timer controls can be combined, so staff can open up from the car or the shutter can close at a set time.

Features to choose from

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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.

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Rochdale?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Rochdale. We also cover nearby Heywood, Royton and Middleton.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
