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

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. 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
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Whitstable?

Yes. Whitstable (CT5) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham.

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.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

What warranty do I get?

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