What to know about electric roller shutters in Dover

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

Options we can specify

  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Manual override for power cuts

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Dover?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Dover and the CT16 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

Usually not. Most shutters run from a fused spur near the shutter box. If there is no supply nearby, a new circuit is quoted separately and done by a qualified electrician.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
