Electric roller shutters in Totton: the essentials
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.
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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Options we can specify
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Manual override for power cuts
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician

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.
