Electric roller shutters in Motherwell: the essentials
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.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
What's included
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Commissioning and force checks on handover

Before you book in Motherwell
Do you cover Motherwell?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Motherwell. We also cover nearby Hamilton, Wishaw and Coatbridge.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
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.
