How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. 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. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.

Specification options

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

Where we work around Portsmouth

Portsmouth sits in Hampshire, roughly 15 miles from Southampton. Whether the job is in the PO5 district or nearby Gosport, Fareham and Ryde, the survey and quote work the same way.

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

How it works

  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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Portsmouth?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Portsmouth and the PO5 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

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.
