Electric roller shutters in Lerwick: the essentials

Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. 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.

What's included

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Lerwick and the ZE1 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.

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.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
