Electric roller shutters in Kirkwall: the essentials

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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.

Options we can specify

  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain

Questions about electric roller shutters in Kirkwall

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Kirkwall (KW15) is within our Highlands & Islands coverage, along with 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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
