What to know about electric roller shutters in Hythe

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. 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. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

Specification options

  • 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
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

Where we work around Hythe

Hythe sits in Hampshire, roughly 3 miles from Southampton. Whether the job is in the SO45 district or nearby Totton, Eastleigh and Cowes, the survey and quote work the same way.

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

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

Before you book in Hythe

Do you cover Hythe?

Yes. Hythe (SO45) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Totton, Eastleigh and Cowes.

Can I open the shutter with my phone?

Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
