Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Borehamwood
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.
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.
Features to choose from
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Manual override for power cuts
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear

Where we work around Borehamwood
Jobs in Borehamwood are planned as part of our Hertfordshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Barnet, Bushey and Potters Bar. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Borehamwood?
Yes. Borehamwood (WD6) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Barnet, Bushey and Potters Bar.
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.
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.
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 warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
