What to know about electric roller shutters in Nelson
An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. 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. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Before you book in Nelson
Do you cover Nelson?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Nelson and the BB9 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.
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.
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 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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
