How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter.

Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Options we can specify

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Manual override for power cuts

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Blackburn

Do you cover Blackburn?

Yes. Blackburn (BB1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Darwen, Accrington and Chorley.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
