Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Burnley
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. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
What's included
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

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 Burnley?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Burnley. We also cover nearby Nelson, Colne and Accrington.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
