Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Farnborough
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. 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. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Farnborough
Do you cover Farnborough?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Farnborough and the GU11 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.
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.
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 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.
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.
