Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Gravesend

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. 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.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Gravesend?

Yes. Gravesend (DA12) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Grays, Strood and South Ockendon.

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 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
