Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Westhoughton
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. 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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Specification options
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

Before you book in Westhoughton
Do you cover Westhoughton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Westhoughton and the BL5 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
