Electric roller shutters in Lancaster: the essentials
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Optional app or smart-home control

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.

Before you book in Lancaster
Do you cover Lancaster?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Lancaster and the LA1 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.
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 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.
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.
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.
