Electric roller shutters in Stornoway: the essentials
Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. 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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- 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 Stornoway
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes. Stornoway (HS1) is within our Highlands & Islands coverage, along with the rest of Highlands & Islands.
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.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
