How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. 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.
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
Features to choose from
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Optional app or smart-home control
- 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 Welwyn Garden City
Do you cover Welwyn Garden City?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Welwyn Garden City. We also cover nearby Hatfield, Hertford and St Albans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
