What to know about electric roller shutters in Inverness
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.
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
Specification options
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- 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 Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Inverness
Do you cover Inverness?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Inverness. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.
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.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
