Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Gwent

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. 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.

Specification options

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

Covering Gwent

We cover Gwent from Newport to Cwmbran, Pontypool and Ebbw Vale, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Wales

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
