Electric roller shutters in Sittingbourne: the essentials

A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Specification options

  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • 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 Sittingbourne?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sittingbourne. We also cover nearby Faversham, Gillingham and Chatham.

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.

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.

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 warranty do I get?

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

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
