How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. 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. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Specification options

  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • 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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Berkhamsted?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Berkhamsted and the HP4 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

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