What to know about electric roller shutters in Canterbury

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.

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. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Features to choose from

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

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 Canterbury

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Canterbury. We also cover nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

What warranty do I get?

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