Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Salford
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.
Specification options
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

Rules in England

Before you book in Salford
Do you cover Salford?
Yes. Salford (M6) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Eccles, Swinton and Stretford.
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.
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.
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.
