How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

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

Specification options

  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear

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 Rochester?

Yes. Rochester (ME1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

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.
