How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Features to choose from
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Commissioning and force checks on handover

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Rickmansworth
Do you cover Rickmansworth?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Rickmansworth and the WD3 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.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
